France Outlook: Deleveraging Weighs on Domestic Demand
The negative impact of the eurozone debt crisis on business and consumer confidence will continue to undermine France’s fragile domestic demand, alongside pressing deleveraging and government retrenchment. We expect economic activity to contract on an annual basis for the duration of 2012 and 2013. Due to the worsening economic outlook, continued structural weaknesses and the rising possibility of fiscal slippage, we expect France to lose its triple-A credit rating in 2012 and miss its deficit targets. While President Nicolas Sarkozy remains a strong candidate and we expect him to gain credit for his fiscal prudence, a double-dip recession and rising joblessness will see the president struggle to gain re-election in April/May 2012.
