The Banque de France estimates that French GDP should grow moderately in the fourth quarter without quantifying this development, due to a very uncertain situation and a lack of visibility as to the impact of social mobilizations. It is revising downwards its forecast for GDP growth in the third quarter, now expecting a decline of 0.1%, compared to +0.1% according to a previous estimate at the beginning of October. The monthly economic survey conducted among 8,500 business leaders between October 28 and November 4 shows increasing activity in industry and commercial services, and little progress in construction. The uncertainty indicator remains stable between September and October in industry and services, but increases significantly in the construction sector. The rise in fuel prices, fears about political and budgetary situations, and the rejection of the 2027 draft budget in the National Assembly are fueling an “increased wait-and-see attitude” among clients, according to Yannick Kalantzis, deputy general director of statistics at the Banque de France. In November, industrial activity would be driven up by aeronautics, computer, electronic and optical equipment, as well as the production of electrical equipment, while a decline is anticipated in automobile repair and accommodation, with cancellations of room reservations in city centers linked to social movements.
