The CAC 40 index, comprised of the 40 most significant stocks listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange, lost around one-third of its value between February 16 and March 15, 2020, due to the economic impact of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It has since recovered, surpassing its pre-corona level in April 2021. In 2024, it peaked in mid-May at over 8,200 index points, followed by a downward trend, reaching 7,492 as of October 16 of the same year. At the beginning of 2025, the index started to recover again, amounting to 8,173.75 index points as of March 5, 2025.
The CAC 40 index is considered the main benchmark index for France, and is widely considered to indicate the direction and level of the French market.
