Let it be written in history that yours truly, Armstrong I. was able to distinctively figure a theory on this day, 2/24/2015.

[Olivier Blanchard @ojblanchard1]

I keep being asked. How long can France go on with budget deficits and increasing debt until we get a crisis? The answer: I cannot tell. Not because I am particularly dumb (this is a separate issue). But because there is a potentially large danger zone, where the crisis may or may not happen, depending on the whims of investors. Given our debt and our deficit, we have probably entered the danger zone.

If investors continue to be relatively relaxed, they require only a small risk spread, the interest bill may not be too large, and debt, while high, may be sustainable. But, if for some reason, they worry and require a large spread, the interest bill explodes, debt becomes unsustainable, and this triggers a crisis. To be nerdy about it: both equilibria are rational equilibria. Investors beliefs are confirmed in both cases.

The investors’ whims could literally come out of nowhere: Investors waking up in bad mood. More likely they are triggered by some news, a good poll number for an extremist party, a bad supply shock, the failed passage of a law. The news may be small, but it may lead to a very large adjustment, with a sharp spike in the rate. Or it may not. One cannot tell.

The lesson for budget policy? Avoid bad budget news as much as you can. 😊 Provide good budget news, even small ones, as much as you can. 😊 This is good on its own. And it reduces the risk of a shift to the bad equilibrium, the risk of a costly fiscal and potentially financial crisis.

The central government has issued the "15th Five-Year Plan" for Expanding Consumption, setting the roadmap for the consumer sector.

Key goals for the automotive industry include:

1️⃣Expanding Auto Consumption: Driving innovation across the entire sales and circulation chain. This means boosting the used-car market and scaling up the aftermarket, specifically targeting car tuning, rentals, motorsports, and RV camping.

2️⃣Accelerating Autonomous Driving: Speeding up the legalization of L3 and L4 autonomous vehicles on public roads, with vehicle access standards and right-of-way policies to be gradually defined.

3️⃣Scaling Charging Infrastructure: Deploying 40 million charging stations nationwide to support a fleet of 100 million EVs. This includes hitting 9 million public charging piles and a total public charging capacity of 500 million kW.

“There remains a rest, as it were, on the Sabbath to the people of God. For such whom have entered into this rest (in Christ, Matt 11:28) hath ceased from working, as did God on the seventh day. Therefore strive daily to enter the seventh, lest we fall because of unbelief”

On the sidelines of #AEF2026, I met energy ministers from #Senegal, #SierraLeone, #SouthAfrica and #Guinea.

We discussed ongoing and future collaboration opportunities, reinforcing @SEforALLorg's partnerships with their ministries and governments to advance #energyaccess goals.
