FRANCE TO BORROW RECORD €340 BILLION IN 2027

France's debt agency, AFT, will issue a record €340 billion in medium- and long-term bonds in 2027, net of buybacks. The state's borrowing requirement hits €339.7 billion, pushed up by €189.2 billion in debt redemptions — the largest rollover on record as Covid-era bonds mature. The plan, unveiled September 29, lands as French political instability keeps selling pressure on $EWQ and Eurozone bond yields alike.
