2017/2027 – Improving Investment to Foster Growth – Critical Actions

As a public policy think tank dedicated to studying issues that resonate internationally, France Stratégie publishes regularly in English on the labour market, the digital economy, sustainable development, economics and social affairs.Against a backdrop of sluggish growth in Europe and the rest of the world, the French economy is facing weakness on both the demand and supply sides. The risk today is this situation will become self-perpetuating, causing long-lasting damage to the French economy. An increase in investment would bolster demand. However, compared to its main partners France has managed to maintain the level of both public and private investments throughout the crisis. The issue is therefore mostly about improving investment to increase the country’s potential output growth.
