In the second episode of Fulcrum’s new series “Deeper Dives”, Gavyn Davies, Founder and Executive Chairman and Andy Bevan, Partner and Economic Advisor drill down into:
- The upcoming elections in France have the potential to significantly impact markets and test EU structures
- The political landscape in France is uncertain, with the possibility of a minority right-wing administration and a strong far-right presence
- Fiscal policy and debt sustainability are key concerns, with both the left and right proposing large fiscal injections
- The need for coherence in fiscal policy across the EU and the response of the European Central Bank are important factors to consider
- The high level of uncertainty implies some further upside risk for French bond spreads in the near-term
