Between 2010 and 2023, public spending by the French state has varied between approximately 55 and 62 percent of the country's total GDP. While in 2019, the share of spending reached 55.2 percent of GDP, the rate climbed more than six points in 2020. The economic crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic in France has caused a surge in public spending to support the economy, households, and businesses.
