A dossier of more than 270 pages, a quantified plan, and a 2031 horizon
In three decades, France has moved from public debt equal to 55% of GDP to roughly 115%. The current trajectory is mathematically unsustainable, and the burden of debt now exceeds the budget of the national education system. Without structural reform, the system is heading toward a medium-term payment crisis. This dossier, the result of methodical work, proposes a structural transformation intended to restore public finances and durably strengthen national competitiveness.
The diagnosis is blunt: 1,470 agencies and State operators, more than 400,000 regulatory standards, and 69 codes in force, compared with fewer than 20 on average in Europe. The plan is built around four major levers — governance, administrative structure, regulatory simplification, and a social overhaul assisted by artificial intelligence — to reach €350 billion in annual savings at full scale by 2031, with a first balanced budget as early as 2029, the first since 1974. Each measure is sourced — INSEE, the Court of Auditors, IFRAP, OECD — and individually costed. This dossier was sent to the candidates in the 2027 presidential election and to the Prime Minister.
