PARIS (Reuters) – France’s economy should grow by 6.7% this year as the latest wave of COVID-19 and the emergence of the new Omicron strain do not seem to have much impact on the economic outlook, ECB policymaker and French central bank head Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Wednesday.
“The French growth remains robust (…) it will be at 6.7% in 2021,” Villeroy told RTL radio, adding inflation should ease next year in France, with its level likely to be below 2% at the end of 2022.
