German businesses warn that French debt risks may surpass the Greek crisis

(2) The institution points out that public debt in the eurozone currently averages about 90% of economic output, up from around 80% in 2009. (3) Meanwhile, the willingness of various parties to advance fiscal reforms has weakened.

(6) On the market front, France's fiscal trajectory and the sustainability of eurozone debt remain potential variables in the pricing of long-term interest rates.
