Le Maire: France’s 7% GDP growth is spectacular

French Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire commented on Friday on the data issued earlier during the day by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), describing the country’s economic recovery as “spectacular.”

The report showed that France’s gross domestic product rose by 7% in 2021, as opposed to a fall of 8% observed a year prior. The expansion marked the fastest yearly growth in 52 years.

“We owe it to the French, to entrepreneurs, to employees, and to the economic policy we implemented in 2017,” Le Maire said for France 2 TV.
