France's leading index, which measures the future economic activity, remained unchanged in June from the previous month, results of a survey by the Conference Board showed Friday.
The leading index remained flat in June, after a revised 0.2 percent fall registered in the previous month. Out of the seven components, three of them contributed positively to the index.
Among the sub-indices, the yield spread, new unemployment claims, and the stock price index were the largest positive contributors. During the six-month period to June, the index moved up 0.2 percent.
The coincident index, which reflects the current economic activity, edged up 0.1 percent in June, as all four components contributed positively to the index. According to revised data, the index remained unchanged both May and April.
