The yield on French 10-year government bonds surpassed the 5% mark this Wednesday. This level has not been recorded since 2002.
The rise occurs against a backdrop of social unrest and violent protests across the country. The government is struggling to pass the federal budget in a divided parliament.
Investors are expressing concern over the country's ability to implement public spending cuts. The goal is to reduce the national deficit and curb the growth of public debt.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu is planning 54 billion euros in cuts. The European Union is demanding that France adjust its deficit to near 3% of GDP.
The French government is considering using constitutional tools to force the approval of the budget. Finance Minister Roland Lescure stated that the executive branch has mechanisms to bypass the legislative stalemate.
