France’s 2027 budget bill includes a significant reduction in public development aid. According to RFI, this cut amounts to 43% compared to 2026, representing nearly two billion euros less.
This measure is part of a broader plan to save 54 billion euros, in which development aid budgets are not spared.
On October 7, the new director of the French Development Agency was heard by the National Assembly to defend the international solidarity policy amid this constrained budgetary context.
