Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
Investing.com -- The French economy expanded by 0.3% in the second quarter of 2025, exceeding analyst expectations and showing improved momentum from the previous quarter, according to official data released Wednesday.
The growth rate surpassed the 0.1% forecast by analysts polled by Reuters and marked an acceleration from the 0.1% expansion recorded in the first quarter of the year.
The better-than-expected performance was primarily driven by a rebound in household spending, which helped boost economic activity in the euro zone’s second-largest economy.
This preliminary GDP reading provides an early indication of France’s economic trajectory for the second quarter of 2025, with more detailed breakdowns of economic components expected in subsequent data releases.
