Left

Centre

Focuses on the figures (GDP, inflation, unemployment, investment) and deteriorating forecasts, with headlines on the investment breakdown and the need for further savings.

Right

Stresses economist Marc Touati's warnings, the loss of industrial competitiveness, the weight of debt and unfavorable comparisons with other European countries.

  • =Economy Minister Roland Lescure states that the French economy is at a standstill.
