PARIS: The Bank of France left its growth estimate for the last quarter of 2014 unchanged at 0.1 percent on Monday, with an increase in the agri-food, pharmaceutical and transport equipment sectors offset by falls in metalworking and chemical activity.

The estimate was its third on the quarter and the same as an earlier one released in December.

The central bank's business sentiment indicator for the industrial sector slipped to 96 in December from 97 the month before, while the reading for the large services sector fell to 91 from 93 in November.
