(Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Friday that he was optimistic France would emerge stronger once it implements the economic reforms announced last week by President Francois Hollande.
"France is and remains a strong country and France will make the right decisions," Schaeuble said at the World Economic Forum in Davos in response to a question about whether Germany's neighbour had done enough to bolster its struggling economy.
"We've seen that the French president has made the necessary decisions and I think it is the right path," Schaeuble added. "I am very optimistic that the role of France will be strengthened through this and that we can bring Europe forward together."
Hollande unveiled a series of policy measures last week, including public spending cuts and tax relief for businesses, designed to strengthen France's sluggish economy.
