According to French customs, France's trade deficit in 2023 was €99 billion, compared to €162 billion in 2022.

French debt is one of the most attractive in the world. The reason is government bonds are risk management assets in every financial institutions globally and there are only so much bonds volume graded AA or AAA. With its volume, liquidity and AA- rating, French debt is a best seller financial product.

The French have 5.8 trillion euros in private savings, which is why we are able to borrow money. This month, we issued 4 billion euros in French bonds, and there was a demand for 40 billion euros. Additionally, the total real estate value of French households is estimated to be around 7 trillion euros. In contrast, the state's real estate assets are valued at about 1 trillion euros, spanning around 200 million square meters.

Debt is how the developed nations control the developing ones with arbitrary debt deals. Capitalism doesn't make any sense when running a country. The entire world is brainwashed into thinking the world is what it is without taking a second thought in realizing that these systems are only in place to benefit the people at the top .01% and gaslight you into thinking they have your best interest in mind. We are entering Terminal capitalism where every benefit is stripped and prices go up to their absolute limit so the capitalists can squeeze out their final profit before everything goes to shit.
