Do not displease either the rating agencies or citizens hit hard by the effects of inflation. The Minister of Finance, Bruno Le Maire, reconnected this Thursday with the original Macronist “at the same time”, on the occasion of the publication of Bercy’s new forecasts for the finance bill for 2024. If growth is revised in decline, the objectives of restoring public accounts are maintained, but without painful and politically sensitive efforts on public spending.

To attempt this balancing act, the government had to first resolve to take into account the deterioration of the global economic situation. The growth forecast for next year has been revised downwards from +1.6% to 1.4%, while GDP growth is still expected at +1% for 2023.
