The Paris Stock Exchange closed sharply lower (-1.52%) on Friday, below 6,500 points, leaving behind it a bad year for the financial markets which have cashed in on the aggressive actions of central banks to curb inflation.
The flagship CAC 40 index fell 1.52% to 6,473.76 points. The Parisian place lost 9.50% compared to December 31, 2021. It thus recorded its worst year since 2018, where it had plunged by more than 10%.
