flag France's 2025 growth slowed to 0.9%, its weakest since 2020, due to weak spending and U.S. tariffs.

flag France's economy grew 0.9% in 2025, the weakest pace since 2020, down from 1.1% in 2024, with fourth-quarter growth slowing to 0.2% amid weak consumer spending and declining exports due to U.S. tariffs. flag Despite strong government spending and corporate investment, foreign trade subtracted from growth as imports rose sharply. flag The government’s fiscal deficit is expected to be slightly below the 5.4% forecast, and Finance Minister Roland Lescure remains optimistic for 2026 growth of at least 1%, though political instability and a fragile government pose ongoing risks.
