France’s economy sees slight growth, household savings increase in Q1

Investing.com -- France’s economy experienced a minor expansion in the first quarter, according to the final data released by the statistics office INSEE on Wednesday.

This data aligns with the preliminary reading of 0.1%, which indicated a rise in companies’ inventories offsetting a weaker domestic demand and exports.

This growth rate matched the average prediction from a poll of 24 economists.

In the first quarter, French households’ purchasing power grew by 0.3%, maintaining the same rate as the previous quarter.

The household savings rate experienced a slight increase, moving up to 18.8% in the first quarter from 18.5% in the last quarter of 2024, as reported by the statistics office.

On the other hand, French corporate profit margins saw a marginal decrease, dropping to 31.8% in the first three months of the year from 32% in the preceding period.
