France adopts delayed 2026 budget, ending months of parliamentary deadlock
France passes its delayed 2026 budget after surviving no-confidence votes, signaling ongoing economic and political instability.
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has passed the 2026 budget after surviving two no-confidence votes, marking the end of a prolonged parliamentary deadlock. The final budget provides only a modest reduction in public spending, with the budget deficit still at 5% of GDP, above the initial target. This political and economic instability continues to weigh on investor confidence and the country's fiscal outlook.
