LONDON (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron's labour reforms may not yield economic benefits for 12 to 18 months but neither that nor his falling popularity will slow his agenda for transforming France, a minister close to Macron said on Wednesday.

Benjamin Griveaux, a junior economy minister, said he had heard a lot of scepticism about the government's ability to deliver on its programme to revitalise France, but he was confident Macron would succeed where others had failed.
