Holger Zschaepitz(@Schuldensuehner):#France is paying the price of fiscal disbelief. Its 10y bond spread over Germany has topped 100bps for the 1st time since 2012. Yields hover around 4.5%, near an 18y high. This year’s deficit is now forecast at 5.4% of GDP, missing the 5% target. Paris still promises 3% by 2029. Bond markets want more than promises.
