France country watch
Exposure to France means watching Paris's labour, energy and tax decisions, strikes at ports, refineries and railways, public procurement and state stakes, and the luxury, aerospace, energy, banking and agrifood groups that anchor supply chains. We read BFM Business, France Info, Le Parisien, L'Usine Nouvelle and the regional press every morning.
