President Emmanuel Macron will try to convince company chiefs including Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and LVMH founder Bernard Arnault that France’s political disarray won’t lead to a more hostile corporate environment — even as business confidence slumped.
During the Thursday lunch meeting with corporate sponsors of the Olympics, Macron will say that the election earlier this month that left the country without a government won’t jeopardize efforts he’s made since entering office to make the French economy more business friendly, according to Elysee officials.
