Cazeneuve said he will continue reforms to fasten France's recovery. Economic growth, a competitive business environment, and reducing unemployment will remain the government’s priorities.

President Francois Hollande named Cazeneuve France’s Prime Minister last week until a new head of state is elected next May. The government's minor reshuffle was prompted by the resignation of former Prime Minister Manuel Valls to prepare for the 2017 presidential election.
