Jean-Baptiste de Franssu, qui dirigeait l'Institut pour les œuvres de religion (IOR), communément appelé "Banque du Vatican", depuis 2014, quittera prochainement son poste. Arrivé dans un contexte de scandales financiers, il a été chargé par le pape François de réformer l'institution. De Franssu a mis fin au secret bancaire, fermé plus de 5 000 comptes irréguliers et permis à l'IOR d'être contrôlée par l'Autorité de supervision financière du Vatican. Ces actions ont permis à l'IOR de se conformer aux normes internationales de transparence et de sortir de son image de paradis fiscal. Son travail contraste avec les tentatives infructueuses de son prédécesseur et a contribué à la professionnalisation de l'établissement malgré des résistances internes.
