France is the seventh largest economy in the world and the second largest market in Europe. The French economy has demonstrated amazing resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2022 energy crisis. Over the past two years, France has increased its competitiveness, improved business conditions and attracted a large number of foreign direct investment. The French presidential system makes it possible to clearly define priorities and quickly implement new measures. The implementation of large-scale reforms and the French labor market has allowed us to set bold goals in the field of industrial policy, which are now beginning to bring significant results. The country has adopted a national industrial policy providing subsidies to domestic companies through lower electricity prices, direct financial assistance and various tax incentives, and has actually launched a subsidy race to attract foreign investors and multinational companies.
