Gabriel Attal unveils plan to balance France's budget by 2037

Gabriel Attel, former French prime minister and head of the Renaissance party, used a televised briefing to detail a comprehensive budget plan intended to achieve a balanced public ledger within ten years. He emphasized that the French populace feels trapped by recurring crises and argued that decisive planning and dialogue are needed to regain control. The core of the plan involves sweeping reforms of the unemployment insurance system, the national health insurance model, and the retirement pension structure.

Attel also announced that he had consulted leading economists—including Xavier Jaravel, Natacha Valla and Olivier Blanchard—to refine the measures he would implement if elected president in 2027. The presentation featured French and European flags, underscoring the national and continental stakes of the proposal.
