Industrial output falls to an eight-month low in August
Seasonally-adjusted industrial production decreased 0.9% month-on-month in August, contrasting the 0.3% expansion recorded in July. The fall was driven by a contraction in manufacturing output, as well as in mining, quarrying and utilities supply.
On an annual basis, industrial production fell 1.4%, an eight-month low, after seeing no growth in July. Meanwhile, the annual average variation in industrial production decreased to minus 0.1% in August, contrasting the 0.1% increase logged a month prior.

France: Macron unveils major tax cuts and a lower deficit in 2020 budget
October 18, 2019
On 27 September, the French government presented its draft 2020 budget, which estimates a deficit of 2.2% of GDP. This is well below the 3.1% of GDP projected this year and would mark the lowest deficit since 2001; however, it is still short of the previously planned 2.0% of GDP shortfall, while the marked reduction of the deficit stems from the absence of a one-off accounting cost owing to the transition to a new tax scheme.
