The French debt market harbors a hidden "time bomb"? Foreign ownership share nears a ten-year high; capital flight could exacerbate market turmoil.

Zhitong Finance APP has learned that the French debt market's heavy reliance on foreign investors is raising concerns, as this factor could become another trigger for market volatility. According to data from documents submitted by the Bank of France, among major European countries, France is among those with the highest proportion of its debt held by overseas investors, with non-residents holding about 60% of French debt, close to the highest level of the past decade.
