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