PARIS, Feb 18 (Reuters) - France will likely need to review its 2013 growth forecast of 0.8 percent, Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said on Monday after figures last week showed the economy posted zero growth last year.

'In the coming weeks we will probably have to rethink our growth forecast,' he told RTL radio.

He added, however, that he thought growth would be better than zero this year.
