French Export: a Way to Improve France's Competitiveness: How to Reverse France's Balance of Trade? Télio Gourdon

The financial crisis has highlighted France's bad economic situation. France is now facing two major issues directly related: the degradation of its exportations and the general deterioration of its competitiveness during the last decade. French export is now a central subject, considered by many as a major lever in order to allow France's recovery. In this work, I will try to analyze French export and to identify the main causes of its decline. By doing so, we will be able to understand the reasons of France's lack of competitiveness in exporting its products, and then, to find the potential means to improve it.
