A flavour of major economic opportunities and risks highlighted in the PhaseZero France report:
  • A payoff for the outgoing boss of car parts supplier, Valeo, while the company is receiving state aid and preparing to cut jobs has stoked France's long suspicion of business and the stock market. The latest scandal broke in March 2009 when it emerged that Thierry Morin, the outgoing chief executive of Valeo, was to take a 'golden parachute' of $4.36 million.
  • France's national railway in February 2010 awarded Canadian rail manufacturer Bombardier a contract that could eventually be worth $10.7 billion. The initial order for 80 regional trains and options for 49 more could exceed $1.4 billion. The trains will increase the French railway's capacity by 20.0 percent while using 15.0 percent less energy.
  • In 2008, Nicholas Sarkozy guaranteed $640.0 million in state backing for joint EDF-Renault electric car recharging network. Automaker Renault and French utility EDF announced a major new partnership designed to build a nationwide electric car recharging network in France by 2011.
  • France is the fourth largest medical device market in the world, ranking behind the US, Japan, and Germany. New measures have recently been taken to control spending on medical devices similar to those already in force for pharmaceuticals. For this reason, the medical market is only likely to see moderate growth, rising from $8.8 billion in 2010 to $9.8 billion by 2015.
