The Banque de France lowers its growth forecast to 0.8% in 2024. A decline linked to “less growth gains at the end of the fourth quarter of 2023”.
The central bank now forecasts growth of 1.5% in 2025 (compared to 1.3% initially forecast) and 1.7% in 2026. Inflation would still reach 2. 5% on annual average in 2024, after 5.7%. It would then continue to decline "significantly" to fall below 2% at the start of 2025.
