President Emmanuel Macron on Monday touted 21 new foreign investment projects in France and a booming economy as proof his economic reforms have been bearing fruit less than three months before a presidential election in which he is expected to run.
During a visit to Alsace in the east, Macron inaugurated a 300-million-euro ($340 million) industrial project by German chemical giant BASF to produce high-tech nylon in France, one of 21 new projects worth 4 billion euros and 10,000 jobs as part of a drive to attract foreign investors.
