Paris, March 1 (Reuters) - The Bank of France will
slightly raise its growth forecast for the French economy for
2023 on March 20, from +0.3%, French ECB policymaker Francois
Villeroy de Galhau told a hearing of the French parliament's
finance committee on Wednesday.
"In France, we expect growth to be slightly positive in 2023
- a priori slightly higher than the +0.3% forecast in December -
before an expected recovery in 2024," Villeroy told French
lawmakers.
"The risk of recession that was hanging over our economies
can now be ruled out, barring a major world event," he added.
