El Mundo reports that France’s mounting debt and budget deficit have prompted fresh warnings from the IMF and OECD, increasing pressure on Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to restore fiscal credibility ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Olivier Klein, Professor at HEC Paris, argues that the convergence of concerns raised by multiple national and international institutions should be seen as an urgent call to action, warning that while France is not facing a financial crisis today, its current fiscal trajectory is not credible enough to ensure long-term debt sustainability.
