France's consumer spending falls 0.2% in February
Consumer spending in France dropped at the slower pace in the month of February from the prior month mainly due to a decline in textile-leather purchases, the latest data released by the Insee unveiled on Friday. Households' goods purchases fell by 0.2% on a monthly basis in February following a 0.8% slid in January, while economists projected a 0.4% growth.
