Bank of France sees French first quarter economic growth at 0.4 percent

PARIS (Reuters) - France is expected to have first quarter economic growth of 0.4 percent, the Bank of France said in its monthly business survey on Monday, as the euro zone's second-biggest economy grapples with the impact to business from anti-government protests.

First-quarter growth of 0.4 percent would represent a slight improvement from the fourth quarter of 2018, when the French economy grew by 0.3 percent.
