PARIS, May 3 (Reuters) - France's economic growth
remains solid despite recent strikes and protests against the
pension reform, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on
Wednesday.
"The French economy resists... there is no significant
impact from the social protests... French growth remains solid,"
Le Maire told Franceinfo radio.
Last month, statistics agency INSEE data showed GDP edging
up 0.2% in the first quarter after a flat fourth quarter, helped
by household consumption, which was steady after falling one
percent in the last three months of 2022.
