> Le Maire also welcomed a decision by France’s financial markets authority to ban short-selling during trading on Tuesday on 92 French stocks and said the measure could be extended up to a month if necessary.
This is peak retardation by people who do not understand how the economy/markets work. French companies have lost lots of their competitiveness due unions, legal barriers, high taxes, etc... A recession/crisis would force these companies either to shutdown or restructure making them stronger in the future and letting the economy run on its own.
If the government has failed to pass previous reforms, why would they think they'll successfully save these companies?
