Datoria publică a Franței atinge cel mai mare nivel de după 1978

France's Ministry of Finance reported a significant deterioration in public finances, with public debt projected to reach 119.3% of GDP in 2026 and 121.7% in 2027. This marks the highest level since 1978, exceeding the EU's 60% benchmark. France is now the third most indebted country in the Eurozone, following Greece and Italy. The government anticipates a public deficit of 5.4% this year, above the EU's 3% limit. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced plans for €54 billion in budget cuts for 2027, with parliament responsible for sensitive measures like tax reductions for retirees.
