July 16, Fineko/abc.az. French economists believe that the country should focus on stabilizing its national debt rather than reducing it.

According to Sud Ouest’s estimates, a €126 bn budget adjustment will be required to stabilize the debt by 2032, starting in 2027. Under current policies, the budget deficit could grow to 6.8% of GDP by 2030, and the national debt could reach 130.5% of GDP.

The increase is linked with higher interest payments on debt, military spending, and lower tax revenues.

Economists are proposing comprehensive measures, including reducing spending, increasing revenue, and stimulating the economy, emphasizing that political will is crucial.
