France will stick to its forecast for 2019 economic growth of 1.7 per cent and broader plans to tax the world's biggest Internet and software companies, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told Reuters Television on Thursday.
"We will not revise our growth forecast for 2019. We think we will have growth of around 1.7 per cent," Mr Le Maire told Reuters TV in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
France is the current president of the G7 group of the world's biggest economies, and Mr Le Maire has said that the G7 should consider setting a joint minimum corporate tax and tackle the power of giant multinational corporations.
