The French government will submit its 2027 finance bill to the National Assembly on Thursday, October 1, aiming to reduce the public deficit to 5% of GDP, according to France 24.
To achieve this, two main levers are considered: reducing expenditures and increasing revenues. Proposed measures include freezing the salary index point for civil servants, increasing contributions from retirees, and eliminating tax breaks deemed ineffective.
These measures aim to generate savings of 54 billion euros to avoid a tax increase during this election year.
