According to data released by the French National Institute of Statistics and Economics on the 19th, by the end of the third quarter, France's total public debt reached 348.2.2 billion euros, accounting for 117.4% of GDP, up from 115.7% in the previous quarter. At the same time, the agency pointed out that France's public debt increased by 65.9 billion euros in the third quarter. Although the increase has slowed, it is still on the rise. France's “Le Monde” quoted relevant data as reporting that the growth rate of France's public debt in recent years has been higher than the level of domestic economic growth. According to data, France's public debt accounted for about 20% of GDP in 1980. Currently, this ratio has risen to 117.4%, exceeding the French government's target of 115.5% by the end of this year, and closer to the phased high of 117.8% in early 2021. In terms of public debt as a share of GDP, France currently ranks third among EU member states, after Greece and Italy.
