Over a period of time, economic performance is measured by indicators through the study of

macroeconomics. It views the economy as a whole. In the situation of France, studying its performance
gives us the general conclusion that it has not been doing well at all. It's major activities on production
reflects its economic growth. To sustain a stable economic growth, according to Todaro, should range
from 5-7% and sustains it for 5 years. However, France had merely reach these level, in fact France has
been stabilized only four times since 1961 to present. France does also reveals a rapid unemployment
rate. According to the principle of Schiller, the ideal range of full employment is between 4-6% which
france had not experienced. It was in 2008 when its unemployment rate ever the years decreases but
still at 7% of unemployment rate which is not enough for France to be considered a healthy economy. In
relation to that, higher unemployment rate leads to a lower inflation rate starting from 1985-2016.
France, however, had reach its price stability for over 2-4% in the principle of Samuelson and less than
3% by Schiller. Over all, France don't have a stable price mostly due to oil shocks were inflation rises and
employment change which lowers it.

With its Gross domestic product (GDP) remains almost unchanged it was only its gross national income
(GNI) had been greatly achieved in 2016. Its balance of payments shown a lot of deficit accounts which is
not a good image to how France produce enough economic output. It experienced a surplus in its over
all balance of payments position in 2006 but became deficit all throughout. This happens because of
imbalance imports from exports.

Generally, the economic performance of France is unhealthy and could be more dissapointing if it will
still continue to fall sharply by the next years. Rates are low and growth is slow in France. France should
adopt some legislations to raise their employment and therefore could slowly improve their economy.
