Following François Bayrou's announced resignation on Monday, 8 September 2025, it is now up to the new Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, to find a way out of this deadlock. His appointment, seen as a choice for stability and continuity, comes at a tense economic time, marked by record public debt and rising interest rates. He inherits a daunting challenge: reassuring the markets, restoring investor confidence and avoiding further downgrades of France's sovereign rating. Many are wondering whether this will have an impact on their financial and tax situations, their assets or their investments. Given its strengths, France has what it takes to bounce back!

The markets are reacting, the French are wondering!

Reactions were swift following the announcement of the appointment. The markets have already factored in this instability, which explains the recent rise in OAT (Obligations Assimilables du Trésor) rates, even though we are still awaiting the potential revision of France's rating by the Fitch rating agency on 12 September. The French are wondering. With this new government, which is expected to continue along the same lines as its predecessors, why would the outcome be any different? Still subject to budgetary constraints, deficit and debt, no one knows what strategy will be chosen and therefore what the concrete consequences will be for households.

In this context, inaction is still not an option. Economic life continues, people still need housing, employees continue to receive their salaries and entrepreneurs continue to do business.
