JOUY-EN-JOSAS France (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Manuel Valls launched a charm offensive on the corporate world on Wednesday, promising to speed reforms aimed at freeing up the economy and to make tens of billions of euros in tax cuts.

Valls declared that he "loves business" in what was the most pro-entrepreneur speech yet from the Socialist government of President Francois Hollande - who in his election campaign described finance as his enemy. The head of France's employers' group said the comments could mark a new era.
