The economy of France grew by 0.3% in the first quarter, according to the latest monthly outlook from the Bank of France. This growth rate marks a slight acceleration from the 0.2% expansion recorded in the final quarter of last year, placing the euro zone's second-largest economy on track to meet an annual growth target of 0.9%. The uptick was partly attributed to businesses front-loading orders in anticipation of price hikes linked to geopolitical instability.
