PARIS - France aims to spend 100 billion euros to pull its economy out of one of Europe’s worst slumps, under a fast-moving recovery plan that revives President Emmanuel Macron’s pro-business reforms with a greener tinge.
It earmarks 35 billion euros to make the economy more competitive and 30 billion to promote greener energy policies. France is on course for one of Europe’s worst recessions and its deepest since World War Two, with an 11% drop in GDP forecast for 2020 as a whole following a 13.8% second quarter contraction that coincided with a coronavirus lockdown.
