but lets look at 2001 vs 2002, more relevant
2001 - 30.408,186,000
2002 - 28,240,081,000
very substantial decline and do not forget to adjust for stronger Euro which would make it even worse for france.
Now lets look at exports
2001 - 19,864,479,000
2002 - 19,016,155,000
and finally the most relevant number, deficit
2001 - 10,543,707,000
2002 - 9,223,926,000
even without adjustment for stronger Euro that is a decline by 12.5%.
with correction for stronger Euro you will be in 20%-25% decline. And you showed that since then there is even more decline.
now if we look at conservative estimates of potential present value if that would continue you would be looking at about 30 billion - 40 billion. I guess France paying for Iraq war after all <gggggggg>
you have to compare pre 9/11 to post 9/11 and not post 9/11 to post 9/11...
