French economic growth is weak but the country’s central bank isn’t expecting the nation will enter a recession, according to its deputy governor.

“We don’t have specific worries,” said Agnes Benassy-Quere in an interview Thursday on Radio-Classique. “We’re not anticipating a recession in France. The central scenario is that it’s really a soft landing of the global and European economies.”
