The 2023 public deficit slips to 5.5%. The debt reaches 110.6% of GDP after 111.9% at the end of 2022.

The government - which is still refusing to increase taxes for the moment - has already put in place an emergency savings plan of 10 billion euros to avoid too great a slippage in taxes public accounts. For next year, the Minister for the Budget, Thomas Cazenave, has already announced that at least 20 billion cuts in spending would be necessary.
