Bank of France Lowers Q3 Growth View

The Bank of France cut its growth view for the third quarter. French GDP will expand 0.1% in the third quarter versus the second quarter, according to the Bank of France's monthly index of business activity. Last month, the bank had expected a 0.2% rise in GDP. Insee projects full-year GDP to rise up to 0.2%, versus earlier estimate of a 0.1% contraction.
