Jefferies Warns France's Debt and Bond Yields Could Spark Eurozone Crisis
A report by Jefferies warns that France's rising government debt, currently about 119% of GDP, and increasing bond yields could trigger a renewed Eurozone financial crisis within the next year. The widening spread between French and German 10-year bond yields, reaching its highest since 2011, reflects investor concerns. High public spending, above 50% of GDP, and significant foreign ownership of French debt, at 58.4%, add to vulnerabilities amid political uncertainty ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
