French economic activity plunged 27 percent in April compared with its expected trajectory before the coronavirus pandemic but this was still a slight improvement on March, the Bank of France said Tuesday.

The economy had been predicted to grow 0.1 percent in the first quarter of the year, the central bank said, with the 27 percent drop counted from where it would have reached in April.
