France must fix its debt before the presidential election
Original: Ahead of a presidential election, France first needs to help itself on debt
Economists are warning that France must put its public finances in order ahead of the upcoming presidential election. With the country carrying one of the higher debt burdens in the eurozone, analysts argue that credible fiscal consolidation is needed first, whatever the electoral outcome, since mounting debt limits the next government's room for spending promises and could unsettle markets.
Why now: The French presidential election is approaching, putting France's high public debt and fiscal policy back at the centre of political and economic debate.
