The path to recovery of France is strong that the government could reduce spending without affecting the rise of the deficit and the budget as reported by the finance minister on Monday. Twenty billion euros is the target amount of the government but this figure could still be trimmed if there will be a stronger growth and less tightening in the budget next year. On the other hand, the estimated value of cuts for next year will be 16 billion.
In the past, former governments were criticized on their excessively high growth forecasts which are reflected on budget and deficit-reduction. According to the Budget minister Gerald Darmanin, the basis of the initial budget for the President Macron’s administration is the forecast of 1.7 percent. Although he said that this could still improve but this what the current economists anticipate. The assumed 1.7 percent is slightly higher from the previous government forecast of 1.6 percent which is deemed to be the strongest economic performance since 2011.
In the current condition, the government has minimal options but to be stricter in order to achieve the promise of reducing the public deficit and also to lessen tax burden of the nation.
