PARIS, July 7 (Reuters) – France’s Finance Ministry said on Tuesday it had cut its 2026 growth forecast to 0.7% from a previous 0.9% in a mid-year public finances update to lawmakers.
“This revision takes into account a less favourable start of the year than anticipated, linked in particular to the special (budget) legislation, as well as the international situation, notably the conflict in the Middle East,” Finance Minister Roland Lescure said in a statement.
