فرنسا الثقة في قطاع الأعمال

France’s manufacturing climate indicator was down to 96 in June 2025, slightly below May’s figure and market forecasts of 97, moving further away from its long-term average. This marked the lowest reading since January, mainly due to a continued decline in overall order books (-24 vs -23 in May) and foreign order books (-17 vs -16), as well as a sharp increase in finished-good inventories (15 vs 9). At the same time, manufacturers remained pessimistic about general production prospects (at -13) and expected workforce size (at -2). Personal production prospects also turned slightly negative (-1 vs 0). Across subsectors, business sentiment deteriorated in machinery and equipment goods and in other manufacturing. However, it improved in food products and beverages, and remained stable in transport equipment.
