France’s A+ credit rating has been reaffirmed by S&P Global Ratings, French Finance Minister Roland Lescure confirmed today. The announcement comes as the French government pledges to continue its efforts to decrease both the public deficit and national debt.

Minister Lescure made the statement, highlighting the stability and resilience of the French economy in the eyes of a leading ratings agency. S&P’s decision to maintain the A+ rating reflects the agency’s assessment of France's economic fundamentals and its ability to manage its finances effectively.

The government has repeatedly stated its commitment to fiscal consolidation. Reducing the public deficit and debt is a key priority for President Macron’s administration, aimed at improving the country’s long-term economic health and bolstering investor confidence. The ongoing efforts involve a combination of measures, including spending reviews and targeted tax adjustments.

While specific details of S&P’s assessment were not immediately released, maintaining the A+ rating is generally considered a positive signal for France's financial standing. It suggests that S&P believes France is likely to meet its financial commitments and maintain a stable economic outlook. Further updates and detailed reports from S&P Global Ratings are expected to be published in due course.
