Bloomberg Economics reported that the French government’s 2027 budget bill draft was announced to comply with European Union spending recommendations.
The move follows France missing its deficit target for this year. The government is seeking to reassure financial markets while it works to manage public finances during a period of weak growth and rising interest costs.
In a statement on Saturday, the Budget Ministry noted that the draft budget projects a 0.7% growth in net primary spending for 2027.
The European Commission’s guidelines cap such growth at 1.2% for the same period.
