What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Concerns regarding the long-term viability of French debt are causing investor sell-offs in French government bonds. The French government has seen its debt-to-GDP ratio reach almost 118%, fueled by high public spending and deep tax cuts since President Emmanuel Macron took office in 2017. As a result, the euro hit 17-month lows below $1.12 on Monday, while French 10-year government bond yields rose to 5% before easing slightly.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The fiscal issues in France are viewed as a major factor in the Eurozone's financial stability. The premium investors demand to hold French bonds over German government bonds is at its highest since the 2010-2012 debt crisis. This sell-off is causing investor retreat from French bonds, with spillover effects into Italian markets.
