France’s economy shrinks 0.1% in third quarter of 2026, initial estimate shows
The Financial Times reports that Insee’s flash estimate defied 0.1% growth forecast by economists polled by Reuters.
TLDR
Insee’s flash estimate puts France’s third-quarter GDP 0.1% below the previous quarter, the Financial Times and Bloomberg report.

The FT reports a 0.6% drop in capital investment despite a 0.4% rise in household consumption; Bloomberg also reports falling exports. The figure is an initial estimate.
