France - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
France was transitioning from an economy that has featured
extensive government ownership and intervention to one that relies more on
market mechanisms but is in the midst of a euro-zone crisis. The government has
partially or fully privatized many large companies, banks, and insurers, and
has ceded stakes in such leading firms as Air France, France Telecom, Renault,
and Thales. It maintains a strong presence in some sectors, particularly power,
public transport, and defense industries. With at least 75 million foreign
tourists per year, France is the most visited country in the world and
maintains the third largest income in the world from tourism. France's leaders
remain committed to a capitalism in which they maintain social equity by means
of laws, tax policies, and social spending that reduce income disparity and the
impact of free markets on public health and welfare. France's real GDP
contracted 2.6% in 2009, but recovered somewhat in 2010 and 2011. The
unemployment rate increased from 7.4% in 2008 to 9.3% in 2010 and 9.1% in 2011.
Lower-than-expected growth and increased unemployment have cut government
revenues and increased borrowing costs, contributing to a deterioration of
France's public finances. The government budget deficit rose sharply from 3.4%
of GDP in 2008 to 7.5% of GDP in 2009 before improving to 5.8% of GDP in 2011,
while France's public debt rose from 68% of GDP to 86% over the same period.
Under President SARKOZY, Paris implemented austerity measures that eliminated
tax credits and froze most government spending in an effort to bring the budget
deficit under the 3% euro-zone ceiling by 2013 and to highlight France's
commitment to fiscal discipline at a time of intense financial market scrutiny
of euro-zone debt levels. Socialist Francois HOLLANDE won the May 2012
presidential election, after advocating pro-growth economic policies, as well
as measures such as forcing banks to separate their traditional deposit taking
and lending activities from more speculative businesses, increasing taxes on
bank profits, introducing a new top bracket on income taxes for people earning
over €1 million ($1.3 million) a year, and hiring an additional 60,000 civil
servants during his five-year term of office.
