Emmanuel Macron affirms that it will be necessary to “complete” the budgetary effort in view of “the deterioration of public finances” “We must see the magnitude, the reason for this slippage and see behind where it comes from and therefore who contributes to it,” he said. The public deficit for the year 2023, initially forecast at 4.9% of GDP, could in reality rise to 5.6% in 2023.
The official figure will be revealed on Tuesday.
