"Paris Region Key Economic Indicators - January 2009"

«PARIS REGION SHOWS FIRST SIGNS OF ECONOMIC TURNAROUND 3rd quarter of 2008
Economic activity in Paris Region in the 3rd quarter of 2008 seems to have yielded rather positive results.
Despite the adverse economic climate, Paris Region was one of the four regions in France with a declining unemployment rate in the 3rd quarter (down 0.1 point from the 2nd quarter, compared to +0.1 nationally). Moreover, although the number of job seekers rose each month from July to September in Paris Region, it grew at a slower rate than at national level. There were also 20,100 business start-ups in Paris Region in the 3rd quarter, a figure still on the upswing year-on-year (+1.2%) while the number of start-ups dropped 0.8% for France as a whole. While Paris Region tends to feel the effects of economic slowdowns more rapidly than the rest of France, it appears that the reverse is true this time.
Nevertheless, Paris Region indicators are more likely to fall in line with current economic difficulties in the coming months.
