| Tlo historyczne | Although ultimately a victor w Swiat Wars I and II, Francja suffered extensive losses w its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, Francja today is one of the most modern countries w the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced w earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation z Niemcy have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of a common exchange currency, the euro, w styczen 1999. At present, Francja is at the forefront of efforts to develop the EU's military capabilities to supplement progress toward an EU foreign policy. |

| Ekonomiczna pomoc - udzielanie | ODA, $5.4 billion (2002) |
| Ekonomia | Francja is w the midst of transition, from a well-to-do modern economy that has featured extensive government ownership and intervention to one that relies more on market mechanisms. The Socialist-led government partially or fully privatized many large companies, banks, and insurers, but the government retains controlling stakes w several leading firms, including Air Francja, Francja Telecom, Renault, and Thales, and is dominant w some sectors, particularly power, public transport, and defense industries. The telecommunications sector is gradually being opened to competition. Francja's leaders remain committed to a capitalism w which they maintain social equity by means of laws, tax policies, and social spending that reduce income disparity and the impact of free markets on public health and welfare. The current government has lowered income taxes and introduced measures to boost employment. The government is focusing on the problems of the high cost of labor and labor market inflexibility resulting from the 35-hour workweek and restrictions on lay-offs. The government is also pushing dla pension reforms and simplification of administrative procedures. The tax burden remains one of the highest w Europe (43.8% of Produkt krajowy brutto w 2003). The current economic slowdown and inflexible budget items have pushed the 2003 deficit to 4% of Produkt krajowy brutto, above the EU's 3% debt limit. Business investment remains listless because of low rates of capital utilization, sluggish demand, high debt, and the steep cost of capital. |
