The figures are not a real surprise, but they help bolster the government’s assertion that the economic recovery is indeed happening.
The fourth quarter of 2015, according to the Bank of France, which released its latest figures on Tuesday, January 12, closed with a growth rate of 0.3%.
Therefore, the Bank of France can maintain its growth forecast for the entire year at 1.2%.
This good news about France’s economic growth offers some reassurance: the deadly attacks of November 13, 2015, ultimately did not impact the country’s economy more than what was anticipated. From the outset, the government had predicted an impact on growth of 0.1% of GDP, or nearly 2 billion euros.
