Economic policy objectives for France after the COVID crisis

To stop potential growth from falling in the wake of the COVID crisis, French economic policy (and that of other OECD countries) must have four objectives: Prevent a loss of productive capital (combat bankruptcies and underinvestment) Prevent a loss of human capital (combat unemployment, develop training, reshore high-end industries) Prevent the proliferation of zombie firms (combat overindebtedness, do not keep companies on artificial life support) Fill gaps in the social welfare system where they exist (for the self-employed, casual workers, employees on short-term contracts, craftsmen, etc.) to help these workers remain close to employment.
