10 October 2001, 15:32 French Q4 GDP growth seen 0.2 pct - BoF survey
PARIS (AFX) - A Bank of France survey of business leaders points to
French GDP growth of 0.2 pct in the fourth quarter and 0.3 pct in the
third quarter, implying full-year 2001 growth of 2.0 pct, the bank
said.
French industrial production declined in the third quarter, due
primarily to a strong contraction in semi-finished goods and the food
sector, according to the survey, which was conducted in September.
Economic activity is expected to remain little changed in the
months ahead, although there is the possibility of a rebound in the
food sector, the survey found.
