The economic situation of trade in 2024 Report prepared for the Commission for National Commercial Accounts
In 2024, volume of sales in the trade sector in France would be steady compared to 2023. Detail trade would rise more strongly than in the Euro zone, after a fall in 2023. On the opposite, wholesale trade would be almost stable (even declining in Euro zone) and automotive trade and repair trade would dwindle (like in Euro zone). In France, household consumption expenditure would increase slightly, while government consumption expenditure would accelerate. Their prices would slow significantly. Investment would fall, reflecting the contraction in investment by non-financial companies and the deceleration in investment by general government.
