Abstract:

As we expected, preliminary data confirmed the French economy had expanded by 0.3% in Q3 suggesting that the stagnation in Q2 had been short-lived. There was a rebound in consumer spending, while investment started to show renewed signs of life. We expect the Paris terrorist attacks to only have a short-term impact on overall confidence and the economy. Consumer spending should slow a little in 2016 mainly due to the slow labour market recovery. Meanwhile, French exporters have been slightly hit by the recent emerging market weakness. However, in the medium-term, the benefits of the weaker Euro and the acceleration in advanced economies should continue to support exports. As a result, trade should add to growth in 2016 and 2017. Finally, we expect investment spending to strengthen as the recovery takes place. We forecast 1.2% GDP growth for 2015, 1.5% for 2016 and an average of 1.7% in the period from 2017 to 2019. Nonetheless, risks to our forecasts remain skewed to the downside. A slowdown in the domestic reform process and a hit to global growth would slow the French economic recovery.
