France's economy contracted by 0.1% in Q3, raising concerns over its budgetary issues. The government faces political instability and rising energy costs. The 2027 budget aims to reduce the deficit from 5.4% to 5% of GDP, but lacks parliamentary support. Economic growth is projected at 1% for 2027, while public debt nears 120% of GDP. Investors are wary, demanding higher yields on French bonds compared to Germany. The finance minister warns that without fiscal consolidation, France risks a deeper crisis.
