...slowing economic output is accompanied by rising costs. The ruling Uri Party has proposed tax cuts to help spur domestic consumer and corporate spending. But export growth slowed to less than 30% year on year in August, making it less likely that the country can reach this year's target GDP growth of 5%.

The debate had become so partisan that much of French society was convinced that Muslims put their religious beliefs ahead of allegiance to their country.
