(3) Meanwhile, the willingness of various parties to advance fiscal reforms has weakened.

(6) On the market front, France's fiscal trajectory and the sustainability of eurozone debt remain potential variables in the pricing of long-term interest rates. (7) Ongoing attention should be paid to the progress of French fiscal reforms and the application of European Central Bank policy tools.
