The real GDP picked up in 2004 to reach 2% but slowed down again in 2005 to reach 1.2%. However, it is estimated to reach 2.4% in the year 2006. The IMF forecasts a GDP growth of 2.3% in 2007. A high unemployment rate remains a cause of concern, although it has slightly fallen in 2006 to reach 9%. In the mid-term, the ageing of the population in France is a big challenge to the country’s economy. In order to maintain the country's economic and budgetary balance, the government had started to push through necessary structural reforms (for example in the labour market), which were subsequently withdrawn in the face of opposition from students. As a result the government will shy away pushing further economic reforms till the next elections.</p> <p class="txtbold">Main branches of industry</p> <p align="justify">France is the largest agricultural power in the European Union, producing one-fourth of the total agricultural produce.
