France's consumer spending experienced a slight increase in October 2025, with the indicator rising to 0.4%, according to the latest data update on November 28, 2025. This is a modest improvement over the previous month where the spending metric rested at 0.3% in September 2025.
The increase represents a month-over-month change, indicating a slow yet positive trend in the French economy's consumer spending habits as the year begins to close. This upward movement suggests potential stabilization in consumer behavior after months of fluctuating numbers.
This change is being closely watched by market analysts and policymakers as they evaluate the potential for sustained economic growth amidst a backdrop of global financial shifts. The rise in consumer spending, while modest, provides a glimmer of optimism for economic stakeholders in France moving forward.
