Drop-In: France’s political turmoil and the fragility of global bond markets

Speakers:

François Bayrou has survived eight no-confidence votes since becoming France’s Prime Minister late last year. But this Monday’s confidence vote – called by Bayrou himself – could yet bring down his government. With France’s strained public finances at the heart of the turmoil, the vote outcome has direct consequences for the country’s economy and its markets.

Our senior economists hosted a special online briefing, highlighting France’s macro and market risks and what would be needed to pull itself out of the current morass – but also showing how its problems feed into a broader global picture of rising government debt and increasingly nervous bond markets.
