The desk is cautious about France’s National Rally fiscal plan under Marine Le Pen, outlining significant delivery risks that could undermine proposed savings of €136 billion annually. Per the full note [source], while the National Rally acknowledges the urgency for fiscal consolidation, the execution of many savings measures remains ambiguous, indicating potential difficulties ahead. Current consensus forecasts for EUR/USD are clustered around 1.1700 for March 2026, with firms like **rabobank** and **socgen** projecting a range of 1.1700 to 1.2000. Market participants should remain vigilant about these fiscal dynamics, particularly as they may intersect with broader Eurozone stability.
France’s elusive €54bn fiscal fix
France’s elusive €54bn fiscal fix
Amid deteriorating fiscal conditions, France's government has set an ambitious €54 billion fiscal adjustment target by 2027, yet lacks a concrete plan to achieve this. With the public deficit projected to reach 6.5% of GDP without corrective measures, the outlook for fiscal stability appears increasingly bleak. Per the full note from ing-think, the government's growth forecast for 2026 has been slashed from 1% to just 0.5%, underscoring the challenges ahead. This scenario raises concerns about the euro's stability as market participants weigh the implications of France's fiscal trajectory against broader Eurozone performance.
