PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande promised households would enjoy tax cuts in France next year "whatever happens", thanks to a pick-up in economic growth he insisted would materialise.

"There are already tax cuts coming... I want to continue. Economic growth will be stronger in 2016. Therefore there will be tax cuts in 2016 whatever happens," Hollande told reporters during a press trip in the southeast of the country.
