The French economy in 2023 continued to be characterized by the high inflation and low growth trend of the previous year. Affected by successive interest rate hikes of the ECB and extraordinary financial assistance from French government，the overall economy showed some resilience，but the dynamic of post-Covid economic recovery was clearly curtailed by sustained low economic growth under deteriorating macro-economic conditions and intensified international competition. Domestic demand，represented by consumption and investment，decelerated under the influence of high inflation and high interest rates，and the foreign trade deficit，although declining，remained at a historically high level. Persistent problems such as the imbalance between supply and demand on the labor market and the deterioration of public finances persist. Economic policy in 2023 has given priorities to protecting the purchasing power of households，promoting labor market reforms and full employment as well as the development of green industries. The French economy will continue to strive in the next two or three years，held back by high interest rates，high inflation，high deficits and high debt level，as well as continued uncertainties caused by international geopolitics events.
