PARIS (Reuters) – France expects economic growth of 8% for 2021, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Thursday.
Le Maire told the National Assembly that the government wants economic activity to return to pre-crisis levels from 2022.
He also said that recent data was “satisfying but too fragile” to change forecasts for an economic contraction of 11% this year.
