Belgium Faces Increasing Debt and Borrowing Binge, Testing EU's Fiscal Discipline
===============
#d044f1de ver:0.08
Belgium's increasing debt and borrowing binge raise concerns about fiscal discipline. With a debt ratio exceeding 100% of GDP and projected to rise, Belgium's situation mirrors that of the US, but without the ability to print the dollar. Political dysfunction and upcoming elections hinder efforts to address the debt, while a populist party could complicate governance. Credit-assessment companies have negative outlooks, risking a downgrade. The EU may reprimand Belgium for violating deficit thresholds. Finance Minister Van Peteghem stresses the need for reforms. #BelgiumDebt #FiscalDiscipline #EU...

Rating agencies Moody's and Fitch doubt France's ability to cut its massive debt, as the country's public deficit widens and the government's target is missed. France's debt is currently 110.6% of GDP, the third-highest in the EU. The government aims to bring it below 3% by 2027, but both agencies are skeptical. Moody's predicts debt could reach almost 115% of GDP by then, while Fitch cites unspecified deficit narrowing measures. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire remains determined to restore public finances and meet the objective. #France #debt #ratingagencies...
