Warnings over France’s finances
Three ratings agencies have expressed concerns about France’s ability to rein in its public finances amid high general government debt, adding to fears about whether the country’s president, Emmanuel Macron, can move forward with his efforts to lift competitiveness and growth in a tense social and political climate.
France’s economy, the eurozone’s second largest, is forecast to remain subdued until at least next year, but more worrisome to ratings agencies is the nation’s financial situation. France spent vast sums to shield households and businesses from an inflation crisis and painful pandemic lockdowns. Now, the potential for a downgrade is deeply worrying top officials.
France’s debt has surged to 111 percent of economic output, casting France into a club with Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain — the major eurozone economies holding the highest debt ratios. In Germany, which has Europe’s largest economy and is a stickler for budget discipline, the debt burden is 66 percent of economic output.
Warnings: S&P Global said it could lower France’s ratings in the next 18 months if the debt did not decline, a risk that would be amplified if there was a prolonged economic slowdown or if France did not adequately curb government spending.
