Bercy fears the country's rating will be updated by the Moody's and Fitch agencies on April 26. Bruno Le Maire announced last night a new direction for the State's economic policy to save public finances.
For 2024, the executive is now opting for 1% growth. A necessary revision according to Éric Dor, director of economic studies at IESEG. "It's annoying for Bercy, but it's a question of credibility. They wouldn't keep this 1.4% anyway," says Dor.
