“French economy - Accounts and Reports” is published every year and presents a summary of economic developments in France and worldwide. It is based on the national accounts and analyses the main events of 2012. This edition also includes three reports: the first sets out the consequences of the 2008 turning point for French companies, the second analyses the advantage of taking into account the quality of capital and labour to measure productivity, and the third assesses household consumption which generates no monetary exchange. Lastly, themed information sheets summarise the main data from the household, company and general government accounts from various perspectives.
