Recent History
Measures taken by his government have tried to boost growth by reducing taxes and passing a 'Modernization of the Economy Law' to facilitate the creation of new businesses. But in September 2008, Sarkozy had to declare an end to 'Laissez faire capitalism' and revert to state interventionism. Meanwhile high unemployment and the problem of pensions still need solving.
Issues related to climate change are also on Sarkozy's agenda, and he has stated his intention to push forward a progressive energy package to reduce CO2 emissions during his tenure as EU president, a position he held from July 2008 to December 2008.
