His plan to raise the retirement age by two years to , Macron finally promised to cut taxes for the middle class by 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion) per month. France’s debt is almost the highest in Europe 10 as a percentage of economic output, his plans were met with A stern warning from the public auditor’s office and the central bank that France cannot cut taxes without slashing spending. “We need to do more on public finances, we need to be cautious about unfunded tax cuts and spending growth too fast,” France central bank governor Francois Villeroy de Galhau said at a conference on Thursday. Rating agencies also noted France’s lack of progress in reducing its national debt, which has been under pressure from COVID- crisis, now only 3 trillion euros away.

While there is no risk of French debt colliding with financial markets, the costs of failing to cut the deficit and debt are mounting rapidly. A surge in interest rates last year means the Treasury now expects the cost of servicing France’s debt to rise from billion euros this year over Billion 85, more than government spending on education or defense. “Our policy for the past six years has seen France in Growth, employment and reindustrialization have achieved results. We are not doing this for the rating agencies,” Le Maire said.
