It is also the product of President Emmanuel Macron's political choices, particularly his decision to dissolve the National Assembly in June 2024. Davies describes the resulting parliamentary deadlock as a "self-inflicted crisis", warning that the market confidence on which Macron has long relied "now seems to be evaporating."
