Cercle des Économistes

The Cercle des Économistes is a French economic think tank whose vice-president, Christian de Boissieu, has been prominently featured in recent discussions on BFM Business's program "Les Experts." These discussions, occurring around March 26th, 2024, covered a range of pressing economic issues. These include a potential energy crisis triggered by the Middle East conflict, its impact on French purchasing power, and the concerns of mid-sized company (ETI) leaders. The program also addressed challenges related to territorial cohesion and regional attractiveness following a report by the Cour des Comptes, inflation rates, and the likelihood of interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank (ECB). The Cercle des Économistes' involvement in these high-level economic debates highlights its relevance in shaping public discourse and informing policy decisions in France amidst current economic uncertainties.
