FX.co ★ France Budge Deficit Narrows in February

In February 2025, France's government budget deficit reduced to EUR 40.3 billion, down from EUR 44.0 billion in the same period the previous year. This improvement was driven by a significant increase in total revenues, which surged by 12.6% year-on-year to EUR 45.2 billion. In contrast, expenditures rose at a more moderate pace, growing only 3.6% to reach EUR 77.8 billion. Furthermore, the Treasury special accounts, which monitor the balance of inflows and outflows for specific purposes, such as receipts from local government, showed a narrower deficit of EUR 7.7 billion, compared to a EUR 9.1 billion gap recorded during the same period in the preceding year.
