includes 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) in tax cuts expected to benefit 5
million low and middle-income households.
The budget detailed at a Cabinet meeting Wednesday is based on expected
economic growth of 1.5 percent both this year and next. The International
Monetary Fund forecasts a more modest 1.2 percent growth next year.
Finance minister Michel Sapin stressed Britain's decision to leave the
European Union in June has "unclear" consequences on France's economic
situation.
The government vows to bring the deficit to 2.7 percent of gross domestic
product, which would be within the EU limit of 3 percent for the first time
since 2007.
President Francois Hollande said this goal is "credible and serious," in
comments reported by government spokesman Stephane Le Foll.
The EU has already granted France a delay of two years twice — in 2013 and
2015— to reach its deficit target.
The government is also trying to be more business-friendly through 5 billion
euros in company tax cuts aimed, in the hope of boosting hiring.
The economy is expected to be a major concern for French voters ahead of the
presidential election in April-May 2017. Unemployment has been hovering
around 10 percent for years.
The budget will be debated this autumn in parliament. Several candidates in
the presidential electoral campaign have claimed they would reconsider the
budget if elected.
