Economic Research

Crédit Agricole S.A. economists concentrate as a team in the search for relevant data, in-depth analysis of trends, strategic economic intelligence and the monitoring of risks.

 

They attach particular importance to the situation in France in terms of the local business climate, savings and credit, certain sectors (including property) and structural issues. They serve both Crédit Agricole and its customers, with an unwavering commitment to adding value, as a visit to this website will, we are sure, demonstrate.

Soft commodities (part two) - Higher prices: winners and losers

Commodity prices have risen continuously since 2001. The run-up intensified in 2007, particularly in the second half of the year, after the start of the financial crisis.
