France consolidates its attractiveness in 2023

Business France today reveals the national figures of the 2023 Annual Report on job-creating foreign investment in France, which reflect the confidence that foreign investors have in France in an unstable global economic environment.

These results confirm that France has managed to maintain its economic attractiveness to international investors. They are the result of a vast program of structural reforms implemented since 2017 by President Emmanuel Macron and his government, aimed at transforming the economy and business activity, and making the country more competitive. Furthermore, for the fourth consecutive year, France remains the leading country in Europe for foreign investment.

In 2023, 1,815 investment decisions were identified. These projects will enable 59,254 jobs to be created or maintained over three years. On average, 35 investment decisions were recorded per week last year in France.
