Primary KPI: one of the key indicators tracked first for this country.Yield at which the market lends to the State, by borrowing horizon: government bonds from 1 to 10 years, depending on the official series available for each country (daily quotes or monthly averages), with the euro-area overnight rate (€STR, ECB) as a reference. The lower it is, the cheaper the debt is to finance.· France — TEC (constant-maturity rate, Banque de France): yield of a theoretical OAT of exactly 1, 5 or 10 years, interpolated daily between the two government bonds closest to that maturity. It is what new State borrowing at that horizon costs at the day's conditions.· 1 day: €STR, the rate at which euro-area banks borrow unsecured overnight (ECB). Not a State borrowing rate, but the benchmark for very short rates.· 1 week, 1 month, 3 and 6 months: not shown. The State issues nothing shorter than four weeks, and no official, up-to-date daily series of BTF (Treasury bill) yields is available as open data: the Banque de France one (3 months) stops in July 2024.· Weekly, monthly, annual: average of the period's daily quotes; the running period is dashed and is never the value shown.· 1 day : BCE — EST.B.EU000A2X2A25.WT (since Oct 1, 2019)· 1 year : Banque de France — FM.D.FR.EUR.FR2.BB.FRMOYTEC1.HSTA (since Nov 3, 2004)· 5 years : Banque de France — FM.D.FR.EUR.FR2.BB.FRMOYTEC5.HSTA (since Nov 3, 2004)· 10 years : Banque de France — FM.D.FR.EUR.FR2.BB.FRMOYTEC10.HSTA (since Nov 3, 2004)

Gross domestic product at current prices, expressed in billions of US dollars (market exchange rate). The standard cross-country measure of "size of the economy" in a common currency.
Breakdown of the French State general budget by ministerial mission (latest finance law, payment credits). Different concept from « general government spending » (COFOG / Eurostat) which includes social security and local authorities — this is the central State alone (~€594bn in 2026 vs ~€1500bn for general government).
Reading keys for the more opaque missions:
• Refunds & tax credits (€146bn): technical line — VAT refunds, R&D tax credit (CIR), other tax credits flowing back to taxpayers. Not actual policy spending. State's « real » mission spending ≈ €448bn.
• Financial commitments (€60bn): essentially debt servicing (interest payments).
• Solidarity (€31bn): RSA, prime d'activité, AAH disability allowance.
• Territorial cohesion (€23bn): housing aid (APL) + urban policy.
• Police & gendarmerie (€26bn): national police + gendarmerie + civil security.
• School education (€90bn): primary + secondary; higher education sits in « Research & higher education ».
