Post World War 2, France modernised its economy through state coordination. This programme of dirigisme involved state control of key industries, such as transportation, energy and telecommunications, as well as incentives for private corporations to merge and pursue specified projects. After the 1970s oil shocks, inflation increased, growth decreased, and the Franc came under pressure. In 1983, the Mitterrand government responded with increased fiscal discipline and a new focus for economic policy: corporatisation and liberalisation. The government maintains a strong presence in some sectors, particularly power, public transport, and defence industries. The economy is also characterised by high levels of taxation, welfare, labour protection, and government spending. Post the global financial crisis, public debt rose from the mid-sixties to 99.3 percent of GDP in 2018. Since entering office in May 2017, President Emmanuel Macron has attempted to launch a series of economic reforms to improve competitiveness and boost economic growth.
