France's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.6% in 2025, marking the country's strongest annual economic expansion since 2017, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). The figure represents a significant acceleration from the 2.5% growth recorded in 2024.
The robust performance was driven by a rebound in household consumption and a surge in business investment. Analysts attribute the growth to improved consumer confidence and supportive fiscal policies implemented throughout the year.
This growth rate places France among the top-performing major economies in the Eurozone for 2025. The strong figures have provided a positive signal for the broader European economic outlook as it continues its post-pandemic recovery phase.
