PARIS, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The business climate in France
improved slightly in February compared to January, according to
data on Wednesday from statistics agency INSEE, as growth in the
services industry buoyed the euro zone's second-biggest economy.
INSEE's index stood at 103 points, in line with forecasts in
a Reuters poll and up from a revised figure of 102 for January.
A purchasing managers index (PMI) survey from S&P Global
this week also showed that French economic activity grew in
February for the first time since October, helped by an easing
in inflationary pressures and strength in the jobs market.
