France's fiscal outlook deteriorates as Fitch revises rating outlook to negative.

Zhito Finance APP has learned that France's sovereign credit rating outlook has been revised to negative by Fitch Ratings. This unscheduled move highlights how rapidly the country's public finances have deteriorated. In a statement on Friday evening, Fitch said the change "reflects the deterioration since our August 2026 assessment, including weaker growth, higher borrowing costs and a wider deficit." France's rating at Fitch remains A+, on par with Portugal and Belgium, six notches above junk status.
