Scope Ratings retrogradează Franța la același nivel cu Fitch

France's credit rating has been downgraded by Scope Ratings from AA- to A+, reflecting worsening fiscal conditions. DBRS has also shifted its outlook to negative. The downgrade is attributed to rising public debt and persistent high deficits, amid economic slowdown and political instability. The government's budget plans have deviated from targets, leading to increased borrowing costs. Upcoming presidential elections complicate fiscal reforms, with candidates proposing various approaches to address growing deficits. Scope warns that political fragmentation may hinder substantial fiscal consolidation in the future.
