“I am really quite confident that the second part of 2021 will be good for the French economy,” Le Maire said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference.
But he cautioned: “We have to remain humble and cautious because we have been fooled by the virus many times.”
The minister said he was not worried about the initially slow roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine in France.
