The French economy is currently stagnant, with growth halted for three consecutive quarters. Minister Roland Lescure emphasized that recovery depends on the government's 2027 budget plan, which aims to reduce the deficit to 5% of GDP. He attributed the economic challenges to a combination of internal and external shocks, including a summer heatwave and geopolitical tensions affecting fuel prices. Lescure stressed the necessity of fiscal consolidation to avoid a crisis and restore investor confidence. The proposed budget is under parliamentary review but faces uncertainty due to political dynamics and public protests.
