31 March 2006, 12:04 French Q4 GDP revised to 0.4 pct rise vs 0.2 pct
French fourth quarter GDP was revised to show a 0.4 pct rise from the third quarter, compared with the previous estimate of a 0.2 pct increase, the statistics office Insee said.
The upward revision was unexpected by analysts, who had anticipated that output would remain unchanged in the quarter, according to a consensus of forecasts compiled by AFX News.
However, full year GDP growth was 1.4 pct from 2004, unchanged from Insee's previous estimate.
