France: 2021 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for France, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2022) accessed November 15, 2024

Summary

A strong economic recovery is underway in France, bolstered by progress on vaccination, strong fiscal support and solid private sector led investment. Employment has recovered to above pre-crisis levels and unemployment is virtually stable. Inflation is increasing, mainly driven by a rise in energy prices but also due to supply-chain disruptions. The public deficit and debt ratio surged in 2020, reflecting the large amount of emergency support deployed and the drop in activity.
