Question 15457 — economic policy

Summary

Ms. Sandra Delannoy questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty about the worrying decline in France's economic attractiveness. According to the EY 2025 attractiveness barometer, France certainly remains the leading European destination in terms of number of foreign investment projects, but this position masks a continued deterioration in several structuring indicators: decline in the number of projects, marked decline in job creation, slowdown in industrial establishments and loss of confidence of international investors. Many managers interviewed now point to administrative complexity, tax and regulatory instability, the cost of energy as well as the lack of economic visibility as major obstacles to investment in France. EY also emphasizes that France is not ranks only 9th in Europe in terms of jobs created by foreign investment projects. At the same time, the United States of America fully benefits from the effects of the Inflation Reduction Act and massively attracts industrial and technological capital, while several competing European countries gain in attractiveness thanks to more understandable simplification and stability policies. So she asks what concrete measures the Government intends to take in order to sustainably restore France's competitiveness and fiscal visibility, to truly accelerate the administrative simplification of industrial projects, to strengthen the attractiveness of industrial territories and production sites and to prevent France from retaining only statistical leadership in the number of projects, without job creation or effective reindustrialization.
