In France, the decline in GDP could reach 9% this year, according to the Insee

While the government is counting on a collapse of 11% and the Bank of France 10%, the decline in the gross domestic product is expected to be lower, according to the Insee.

This is a very relative note of optimism. The decline in the gross domestic product (GDP) in France should be limited to 9% by 2020, according to the notes published by the Insee on Wednesday, while the government is counting on a collapse of 11% and the Bank of France 10%.

After a contraction of 5.3% in the first quarter and by 17% in the second due to the pandemic of sars coronavirus, the GDP rebondirait of 19% in the third quarter and then 3% in the fourth, says the national Institute of statistics. And even if it finally reaches 9%, it will be "the greatest recession since the creation of the French national accounts in 1948," says the note from the Insee.

These are the last which are likely to be most difficult, especially the sectors most affected by the crisis", is still in the custody of the Insee.

The institute warns that its estimates are subject to "many uncertainties, above all in the health situation in France and in the world". This is the first forecast of growth of the Insee for the whole of 2020, as well as for the third and fourth quarters.
