France Negotiates Budget Under Market Pressure
France is facing tough negotiations over its state budget due to rising borrowing costs, as 10-year bond yields have climbed to their highest level since 2008, surpassing 4.13%. The government aims to reduce the budget deficit, which is projected to reach around 5.1% of GDP in 2026, despite exceeding the European limit of 3%. The government is preparing a draft budget for 2027 that includes plans to increase defense spending and support green initiatives, while attempting to cut the deficit to 5% by the end of 2026. The government is under significant financial pressure due to rising interest payments on debt, the fallout from the conflict with Iran, and slower economic growth, all of which threaten the implementation of essential fiscal reforms before the upcoming presidential elections.
