PARIS, March 12 (Xinhua) -- France's central bank, Banque de France (BdF), announced on Wednesday that it has lowered the gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast to 0.7 percent for the whole year of 2025.
After the slight downturn in activity observed at the end of 2024, France's GDP is expected to grow at a still moderate rate in the first half of 2025 before gathering pace in the second half of the year, the Banque de France said in its latest macroeconomic interim projections.
