France - Exchange Rate
President Emmanuel Macron delivered a much-watched mea culpa in mid-December as he set out to extinguish the so-called ‘yellow vest’ protests that erupted in response to a proposed fuel-tax hike. In his efforts to mollify protestors, he offered a handful of concessions; raising the minimum wage and slashing some taxes could push next year’s fiscal deficit well beyond the EU-mandated threshold of 3.0% of GDP but appears to have brought the situation under control. Analysts applauded the centrist politician’s resolve to keep alive his reform agenda by introducing sweeteners rather than backtracking entirely on badly-needed labor-market changes, although most acknowledged the president’s weaker footing from here on out. The protests are expected to bruise fourth-quarter economic activity, confirmed by survey-based data for November, and follow the third quarter’s consumption- and investment-driven bump.France - Exchange Rate Data
