The government's structural reform agenda is being put in place and growth is expected to gradually return to its potential level over the medium run. However, risks have risen, related to a disorderly Brexit, trade tensions, and a softening of activity in the euro area, but also to a slowdown in the domestic reform momentum. Building on the ongoing government reform agenda, policies should aim at addressing France's structural challenges-high public debt and spending, rising private sector indebtedness, high unemployment, inequality of opportunity, and sluggish productivity.
