France’s economic activity is expected to decelerate in 2025, with a projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 0.6%, following 1.1% in 2024. This slowdown occurs amid budgetary constraints and economic uncertainty, as reported by the official statistics institute on Wednesday. “The eurozone is slowly emerging from its stagnation, despite a reversal in global trade trends,” with a particular rebound in investment. However, the French economy does not seem to be evolving at the same pace as the rest of the continent, highlighted the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) in a report.
