奥朗德看好法国经济复苏

 　　PARIS, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- French President Francois Hollande said on Tuesday that fresh positive domestic and regional economic indicators¹ were backing his optimism about the recovery of the country's economy.

　　"They (critics) said that I have been very optimistic when I said the recovery has begun and that we were going out from the crisis," Hollande was quoted as saying by the news channel BFMTV.

　　"It is still very fragile, very fragile but there is something happening in the economy," he added.

　　In a visit to Roche-sur-Yon in western France to promote the Socialists²' roadmap to create jobs, the president reiterated³ his pledge to reverse the unemployment trend by the end of this year.
