France’s economy expanded by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in Q3 2025, accelerating from 0.3% in the previous quarter and confirming preliminary estimates. This marks the sharpest quarterly expansion since Q2 2023, supported by firm domestic demand and a rebound in exports. Exports jumped 3.2% after 0.3%, driven by a strong recovery in transport equipment (+13.4%), while imports rose at a softer pace of 1.3% after 1.5%. As a result, net trade contributed +0.6 points to growth. Meanwhile, household consumption increased 0.1%, unchanged from Q2, as lower food spending (–1.0% after +1.5%) was offset by a rebound in energy demand (+1.3% after –2.3%) and slight growth in services (+0.1%). Fixed investment rose 0.5% after stagnating, supported by stronger information and communication (+1.7%) and capital goods (+1.7%). Government consumption remained steady at +0.5%. On an annual basis, GDP expanded 0.9%, up from 0.7% in Q2, marking the strongest growth in a year.
