PARIS—France said it plans to spend €100 billion ($118 billion) on jobs programs, green technologies and health care as it seeks to breathe new life into its economy, which has taken an outsize beating from the coronavirus pandemic. The recovery fund represents about 4% of France’s gross domestic product, more than any other big European country, and it aims to return France’s economy to precrisis levels by 2022, the government said.
