Franța riscă o nouă retrogradare financiară. Fitch avertizează asupra creșterii datoriilor • Newsweek România

France faces a potential credit rating downgrade as Fitch warns of rising public debt. The government struggles with a high deficit and increasing borrowing costs. Fitch maintains France's rating at A+ but indicates that further debt increases could lead to a downgrade. The upcoming budget discussions aim to reduce the deficit, yet Fitch highlights the challenges in stabilizing debt amid weak economic growth and political fragmentation. The projected budget deficit for 2026 is 5.4% of GDP, exceeding previous targets. Proposed measures include public sector salary freezes and tax extensions, but Fitch emphasizes that these may not sufficiently address the debt issue.
