Exchange Rate in France
France - Exchange Rate
Available data suggests the economy is shrinking at a faster rate in the second quarter, on the heels of the steepest contraction on record in the first quarter. Domestic demand is being ravaged by Covid-19: Rising unemployment, social distancing measures and business closures are all hammering consumption and investment, as signaled by marked deteriorations in survey-based indicators in April–May. With the flight and motor industries being particularly hard hit by the crisis, in the past few weeks the government moved to support large French companies by providing a EUR 7.0 billion loan to air carrier France–KLM and a EUR 5.0 billion loan to car producer Renault. Amid a deteriorating fiscal backdrop and shrinking economic activity, on 15 May Fitch Ratings revised France’s outlook to negative, maintaining an AA rating. Meanwhile, in politics, President Emmanuel Macron lost his parliamentary majority on 19 May, thus hindering the approval of his controversial pension reform.France - Exchange Rate Data
