France faces a record 340 billion wave of debt issuance

France plans to issue 340 billion in medium- and long-term bonds in 2027, with total financing needs reaching 339.7 billion. A record 189.2 billion in maturing debt will further increase refinancing pressure. Agence France Trsor expects the 3-month Treasury bill rate to be 3% and the 10-year benchmark government bond yield to be 4.3%, highlighting the increasingly costly financing environment facing France's public finances.
