A new American Chamber of
Commerce survey
reflects growing irritation amongst those looking to make foreign direct
investment (FDI) in France. In particular, some respondents highlighted
concerns regarding: the cost of labor, the corporate-tax regime, the economic
environment, the social climate, including political instability and strikes,
and the quality of the workforce. As a result and not too surprisingly,
investors are turning to Britain and Germany to make FDI. At a time when
competition for job-creating FDI is fierce, the sentiments echoed in the survey
results should come as worrying news for French PM François Hollande.
