France has little room left for extravagance. According to data from France's National Institute of Statistics and Economics (INSEE), the government deficit will account for 5.1% of GDP in 2025, and the accumulated public debt will reach 119% of GDP by the end of the second quarter of 2026. The former represents the annual revenue and expenditure gap, while the latter represents outstanding debts. These are not entirely caused by welfare expenditures, but continuing to borrow money to maintain commitments will only further reduce public services such as schools.
