News detail
France is considering boosting issuance of shorter-term debt, as investors grow more hesitant to lend to the debt-laden country for longer periods. Finance Minister Lescure said France would be "strategic" in issuing new debt at a time when demand from investors has been rattled by the country's deepening financial woes. Lescure added "The reasonable thing to do considering the value in the curve, which I see, would lead us to have a shorter maturity," , "But it's at the margin. We're not traders."
