France's fragile economy under siege after Paris attacks

France's fragile economic recovery is under threat after the Paris attacks, economists said Sunday, with tourism and consumer spending likely to come under siege. "We've been observing a general climate of lethargy since Saturday," said Philippe Waechter, head of economic research at Natixis bank. It's a cruel irony that only hours before the attacks the French government was celebrating the best economic news in months: that France had finally returned to growth in the third quarter.
