Bank of France deputy governor says that growth is slowing in 2018

Comments by Bank of France deputy governor, Sylvie Goulard

  • Growth in France is slowing a bit in 2018 compared to last year
  • Europe needs stability for there to be investment
  • Attacks on euro's stability or European countries' differences hurts that

Coupled with finance minister Le Maire's comments yesterday, certainly not looking too optimistic. Goulard also commented a little on Brexit saying that trade in goods will be cast into doubt as supply chains run through a series of countries.

She's likely referencing on a no-deal outcome as she phrased the situation as "we shouldn't try to scare people but we shouldn't underestimate the consequences". A small hint that negotiations are still far from reaching a conclusion.
