French Economy Suffers Another Output Decline
France’s economy suffered another contraction at the end of the year due to the tightening of restrictions to limit the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The eurozone’s second-biggest economy contracted 1.3% during the fourth quarter, following upwardly revised growth of 18.5% in the third quarter, French statistics agency Insee said in a first estimate for the period.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast a 4.1% contraction of gross domestic product.
On an annualized basis, the economy contracted by 5.0%, Insee said.
