The French GDP has taken a bit of a hit.
The country’s annualised debt for the year is sitting at 5.5%, higher than the 4.9% they were aiming for.
France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that the French Finance Minister has started to tell the country that they have to save around €10 billion, approximately $18 billion NZD.
GDP growth is now predicted to only be around 1%, she said, and people are not feeling very confident about the economy.
