Moody's Downgrades France's Credit Rating from Aa2 to Aa3 with Stable Outlook Amid Political Turmoil
Dec 14, 2024, 07:22 AM
Moody's has downgraded France's sovereign credit rating from Aa2 to Aa3, with a stable outlook. This decision, announced on December 13, 2024, comes amid ongoing political turmoil following the recent toppling of the government led by Marine Le Pen. The ratings agency cited concerns over France's weakening public finances and political fragmentation as key factors influencing its decision. The downgrade places France three notches below the maximum rating, raising concerns about the country's ability to manage its debt and deficit effectively. The agency's action is seen as a significant challenge for newly appointed Prime Minister François Bayrou, who now faces pressure to address these fiscal challenges.
