Whether with reflections about constructing a common budget for the euro-zone to prevent crises and "rebuild European solidarity,” or measuring the environmental impact of digital technology, or evaluating the dual objectives of protection against poverty and creating work incentives, or explaining the slow-down in French productivity... France Stratégie in 2019 has made significant contributions to public awareness and debate on these and other vital issues.

France Stratégie's programme for 2021 has a simple but demanding ambition: our work should provide useful contributions to public policy when the latter is facing unprecedented challenges. The health, economic, and social crisis of 2020 has represented a double-challenge for France Stratégie: taking it into account in our work in order to providedecision-makers and public opinion with up-to-date information on topical issues while intensifying our efforts to carry out the medium- and long-term projects initially planned. We believe that we have taken up this challenge.

The Covid-19 pandemic remained unpredictable in 2021, as the progression of the Omicron variant dramatically demonstrated. However, the economic situation has seen an increasing number of encouraging indicators, month after month, on activity and employment. This tends to show that the very large-scale policies put in place to deal with the crisis that began in early 2020 have achieved their objectives.

France Stratégie is entering 2023 by stepping up its investment in three key directions: a successful ecological planning; enabling the development of a productive economy moving towards full employment; and leading a renewed public action towards a fairer society.

France Stratégie is the French Prime Minister’s strategic planning unit. It contributes to public policy and helps to stimulate and inform debate. It conducts research, anticipates future trends, develops relevant proposals and evaluates public policies. France Stratégie focuses its analysis, forecasting and evaluation work on four issues: economy; work, employment and skills; society and social policies; sustainable development and digital technology. All its work is published on the France Stratégie website. Its productions are addressed to public authorities as well as citizens.

France Stratégie's 2024 work programme is structured around three key directions: a successful ecological planning; enabling the development of a productive economy moving towards full employment; and leading a renewed public action towards a fairer society.
