France's 'Magic Money' Spending Has Created a Debt Bomb

Original: France's Appetite for 'Magic Money' Has Turned Into a Debt Bomb https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/france-debt-bonds-spend

The Wall Street Journal reports that France's reliance on borrowed spending, described as an appetite for 'magic money', has pushed the country's public debt to dangerous levels, with rising bond costs adding pressure. The piece frames years of generous fiscal policy as leaving France facing a mounting debt crisis with limited room to manoeuvre.

Why now: Concerns over France's public debt and borrowing costs are driving fresh debate about the country's fiscal sustainability.
