The rise in inflation that is cutting the purchasing power of the French does not question the growth forecasts of the Government. Asked on the sidelines of the Medef REF event currently taking place in Paris, Bruno Le Maire maintained the government’s forecasts.
“French growth is maintained, it is solid. The facts are there, the figures are there. Today we have growth that is maintained. I maintain the forecast at +2.5% for 2022, it is one of the best figures in the euro zone” , indicates the Minister of Economy and Finance.
“I’m willing to imagine the worst, but…”
And to bite: “French growth is solid, it is resisting, the fundamentals of the French economy are good. The fundamental thing is to prepare for a more difficult situation due to the cut off of Russian gas and to continue the economic transformation of the country”.
