Holger Schmieding said in a note the court shortened Marine Le Pen's ban on holding public office, restoring her eligibility for France's 2027 presidential election, but uncertainty remains over whether she will be the National Rally's candidate. The court upheld her conviction for misappropriating EU funds and ordered her to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet for one year. Le Pen has suggested she might not run under those conditions; if she declines, protégé Jordan Bardella — more popular with the public and less hardline on the EU — could become the National Rally's candidate.

France Finance Minister Lescure said the government has cut its 2026 GDP growth forecast to 0.7% as output is being dragged down by budget approval delays and the Middle East conflict, including the Iran war. He said the revision reflects a weaker-than-expected start to the year, while inflation and consumption data are more encouraging. The budget had been based on a 0.9% growth assumption for 2026; the new forecast aligns with Insee, whereas the Bank of France expects weaker growth of 0.5%. Lescure blamed a deeply split parliament for postponing budget passage, forcing the government to temporarily extend key spending and tax measures via special legislation.
