France's national debt hits record 119% of GDP, diverging from Germany

France's national debt has reached a post-WWII record of 119% of GDP, significantly diverging from Germany's 64% due to differing fiscal policies since 2010.

Background

France and Germany, two major Eurozone economies, have historically pursued different fiscal strategies. France has generally maintained higher public spending and debt levels compared to Germany, which often prioritizes fiscal discipline. This divergence in economic approaches has implications for the stability of the Eurozone.
