France’s Lescure Says Iran War Economic Impact Moderate for Now

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said the impact of the Iran war on the economy is moderate for the moment and growth is on track to match the government’s expectations if the conflict doesn’t deteriorate.

“At this stage, the impact on growth is relatively moderate, but it will all depend on how the conflict evolves,” he said on Franceinfo radio Thursday. “If this crisis fades in the coming weeks, we will remain in sync.”
