The French business climate still stable in June 2010

French business climate and turning point indicators –June 2010

According to the business leaders of the main economic sectors, the French business climate is practically stable in June 2010, after a continuous increase between April 2009 and April 2010. However, this stabilization hides differences among economic sectors: business leaders’ answers suggest an improvement in services and retail trade. They are less optimistic in industry and building sectors.

At the same time, the turning point indicator remains in the favourable zone since one year, after a year and a half in the unfavourable zone. This shows continuous signs of a coming recovery.
