The Banque de France anticipates a slight recovery in the French economy. The institution indicates that it expects growth of 0.1% to 0.2% over the first three months of the year compared to the previous quarter.

“There is a slowdown in the economy, but we are going to escape "to the dark scenario that some feared", declared the governor of the Bank of France, François Villeroy de Galhau, to the newspaper Ouest-France.
