French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Monday that he expects the growth of the French economy to accelerate in 2024 compared to 2023 and that inflation is likely to fall below 3% in the first half of the year.
However, Le Maire also warned that "the hardest part is ahead of us" and that the French government must find at least €12 billion in savings in 2025. He revealed that a bill aimed at attracting investors will be presented to the parliament in the spring. "We have become the most attractive nation for investments in Europe. We have been able to take full advantage of Brexit and attract the largest financial institutions on the planet to Paris," he said.
