France's Debt Woes Rattle Bond Markets as EU Withholds Support

Original: France says No QE for you… Global Bond Market reacts France has a debt-to-GDP ratio problem at roughly 120%, and the EU

France is facing renewed pressure over its public debt, which stands at roughly 120% of GDP, drawing criticism from the European Union. A key point of contention is the EU's bond-buying tool designed to support countries whose bond markets come under strain: France does not qualify for it, leaving Paris without a perceived safety net. Observers say global bond markets are reacting to the prospect that France may not receive EU assistance in a crisis.

Why now: Investors and commentators are worried France's high debt level leaves it exposed without EU bond-buying protection.
