Nowadays, we have in terms of public deficit, it will be around 5.4% of GDP, which is one of the worst in the European Union.

So where do you find it?

Bloomberg Talks

Bloomberg Talks

Well, let's say we're around, for the 10-year bond market, for the French government bonds, we're around 3.5%, 3.7%, which might be the top.
