France presidential election window
Why it matters
France is one of the EU’s two central agenda-setting states, a nuclear power, permanent UN Security Council member and key voice on defence, industry, agriculture, migration and fiscal rules. The presidential result could reshape the Franco-German engine and the balance between pro-integration, nationalist and protest politics in Europe.
What to watch
- First-round fragmentation and the likely second-round matchup.
- Positions on EU fiscal rules, defence, Ukraine, energy, migration and industrial policy.
- Market and Council reaction to the mandate implied by the second-round result.
