Months of violent unrest have destroyed hundreds of businesses in New Caledonia.Political and business groups say the collapse of France's government throws into doubt New Caledonia's efforts to rebuild after months of violent unrest.
Mr Barnier's government lost a motion of no confidence in Paris on Wednesday after three months in power. Pro-independence Party of Kanak Liberation representative Jimmy Naouna said his party had hoped the Barnier government would deliver a budget providing financial support to help rebuild the New Caledonian economy.
"That's a disaster for a prompt response to the economic crisis that's wracked the Pacific dependency," he said.
