Chris Williamson France Quotations

France once again continues to buck the trend although there is increasing divergence.

France is benefiting from the global upturn we're seeing, with increasing numbers of companies in Asia and the U.S. buying investment goods in particular.

In Germany, output prices are remaining very subdued and it's a suggestion that German companies are being more competitive than companies in, say, France and Italy on price, and therefore winning more business abroad.
