Economists heap praise on France for its Covid tactics
France has been acclaimed as the global star of the Covid pandemic by a Nobel-winning economist for its unique strategy to weather the crisis.
Princeton emeritus professor of economics and international affairs Paul Krugman paid particular praise to France’s efforts to keep people in employment and to provide childcare.
His comments were supported by French and British economists who told The Connexion that France made the right choices to keep its economy strong through the challenges of Covid-19.
