The French economy showed no growth in the second quarter of 2026, following a contraction in the first quarter, according to revised data from the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). Household consumption rebounded slightly, while business investment continued to weaken. Exports grew strongly, driven by the aeronautics sector, contributing positively to GDP growth. However, household purchasing power deteriorated due to a rebound in prices. The economy's stagnation leaves the accumulated growth for the whole of 2026 at 0.3%.
