PARIS: France saw a substantial rise in foreign investment last year but the increase did not create many jobs, according to consultants EY. In other eocnomic news, finance ministry experts say there could be higher-than-predicted growth in 2015.
The 18 per cent rise in investment in 608 new or existing projects put France well above the 10 per cent average of the 43 European countries, including Russia and Turkey, examined in EY’s annual study.
