According to the figures published by Insee, “2015 was the year of recovery.” France, with a growth of 1.1%, performed much better than in 2014, which saw only 0.2% growth.
This is the highest level achieved in four years.
Nevertheless, France still lags behind the eurozone, which shows a growth of 1.5%.
This resurgence in growth needs to amplify in 2016 to allow for more job creation. Unusually, Standard & Poor’s shares this optimism, anticipating a growth of 1.6% in 2016.
Likewise, the Bank of France shares this view.
