France's economy contracted 0.1% in second quarter: revised data

PARIS, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News -23rd Sep,2016) - France's economy contracted by 0.1 percent in the second quarter, the Insee statistics agency said Friday, revising an initial estimate of zero growth.

The revision, which shows both consumers and businesses held back spending in April through June, will be unwelcome news for the government as it puts together its 2017 budget and as campaigning in the French presidential election gets under way.
