France has become the main victim of rising bond yields worldwide, according to an analysis. Its net debt will exceed 111% of GDP this year, according to IMF forecasts, with a deficit close to 5% of GDP and nominal growth projected at 3%. Last week, the 10-year yield briefly topped 5% for the first time since 2002, and the spread against Germany stands at around 1.5 points, the highest since the 2012 euro crisis.
