France - National Productivity Council

France's National Productivity Board, the Conseil National de Productivité (CNP), was established on 23 June 2018. It is comprised of 16 independent academic economists and is chaired by Natacha Valla, Dean of the School of Management and Innovation at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po). Each member is appointed for a renewable term of two years.

The CNP is tasked with preparing an annual report and organising consultations with trade unions and employers' organisations before the report's final adoption. If necessary, the views of these organisations can be annexed to the report. Public consultations are also envisaged.

Members of the council may consult relevant institutions and public administrations to conduct research and access useful materials. The report is written independently from these institutions and administrations.

The board is headquartered at the Haut-commissariat à la Stratégie et au Plan, which also provides the secretariat.
