> GDP was down 0.1% from a year earlier after no change in Q2, while household and government consumption rose.

France’s output declined 0.1% from the prior quarter in Q3, after GDP was unchanged in Q2. The year-over-year measure also fell 0.1%.

Household consumption increased 0.4%, while government consumption rose 0.3%. Investment declined 0.6%, and exports fell 1.7%.

Inventory changes contributed 0.4 percentage point to GDP growth during the quarter. That positive contribution came alongside lower exports and investment and a small overall decline in output.
