France's economy experienced a slight recovery in early 2023, with a GDP growth of 0.1% after a contraction in the previous quarter. However, this growth was primarily limited by stagnant household consumption and declining investment. Consumers showed reluctance to spend, while investments fell by 0.2%. The economic outlook is further complicated by ongoing political instability under President Macron's government, which faces challenges such as no-confidence votes. Additionally, external factors, including geopolitical tensions and tariffs, contribute to a precarious economic situation for France.
