(MENAFN) France's public deficit decreased by 3.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) last year from 4.0 percent the last two years.
Accordingly, the reduction was "all the more notable" as the government faced unforeseen spending like ramping up security.
Moreover, EU rules set the limit on public debt at 3 percent of an economy's whole annual output.
The country's gross public debt increased slightly in 2015, to 95.7 percent of GDP valuing to more than USD 2.23tr.
