In the second quarter of 2009, French GDP increase in volume is confirmed (+0.3 %) * , after four quarters of contraction.

Production edged up

This bounce is partly due to the narrowing of the foreign trade balance this quarter: exports grew +0.7 % (after -7.4 % in Q1) while imports decreased at a milder pace than in the last quarter (-2.1 % after -5.9 %). Households’ consumption’s expenditures went up by +0.2 % (after +0.1 % in Q1) and total GFCF’s decline softened (-0.9 % after -2.6 %). Finally, inventory changes contributed negatively this quarter again (-0.6 points after -0.7 points in Q1).

Non financial corporations’ margin ratio increased by 0.2 points to 30.4 %. Purchasing power of households' gross disposable income grew by +1.1 % (after +0.4 % in Q1).

* This growth rate is seasonally and trading-day adjusted; volumes are chain-linked previous-year-prices volumes.
