BSI Economics participated in discussions held by the Economic Front, an initiative launched in October 2024 by MEDEF (Mouvement des Entreprises de France). The Economic Front brings together economists and business leaders to propose solutions to the structural challenges facing the French economy.
BSI’s participation is part of our approach to improving economic debate and providing independent insights to decision-makers. In this context, four economists from BSI Economics actively participated in the work of the Economic Front: Arthur Jurus, Victor Lequillerier, Anthony Morlet-Lavidalie, and Simon Ray.
MEDEF drew on the work of the Economic Front and published a document on Friday, August 29, 2025, in the media outlet Le Grand Continent, containing 35 recommendations. To access and read this document, click here.
Not all of the proposals are endorsed by all of the authors. In the coming weeks, we will be publishing on our website, with free access, the analyses of BSI economists that were produced as part of the exchanges with the Front, whether or not they were included in the final document published on Le Grand Continent.
