The French government anticipates a weaker than expected rebound in the economy in 2021, at + 6% against + 8% previously, due in particular to the maintenance next year of binding health protocols due to the coronavirus epidemic, a said Tuesday the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire.

This hypothesis is based on three health elements: "A slowdown in economic activity of around 12%" in November with the re-containment, "the maintenance of health rules in the coming months to prevent the resumption of the epidemic" , and "no third confinement in France in 2021", he detailed during a telephone press conference.
