France faces more turmoil with government on brink ahead of confidence vote PARIS (Reuters) -France’s fourth prime minister in three years, François Bayrou, faces almost certain defeat in a confidence vote on Monday, tipping the euro zone’s second-biggest economy further into political uncertainty. The government’s collapse looks set to deepen France’s paralysis at a critical time for Europe, which is seeking unity in the face of Russia’s war against Ukraine, an increasingly dominant China and trade tensions with the United States. The turmoil also threatens France’s ability to rein in its debt, with the risk of further credit downgrades looming as bond spreads - a gauge of the risk premium investors demand to hold French debt - widen. France faces acute pressure to repair its finances, with last year’s deficit nearly double the EU’s 3% limit of economic output and public debt at 113.9% of GDP. The confidence vote is slated for Monday afternoon. Despite a frenzy of talks and media appearances since his decision to throw his hat into the ring on August 25 amid tense debates over a budget bill, Bayrou appeared over the weekend to have failed to secure a majority. Opposition leaders across the political spectrum made clear they would vote to oust Bayrou. "The government will fall," said Jean-Luc Melenchon, the leading figure of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party, echoing similar comments from others on the left and right. Should Bayrou fall, the president will likely face the task of finding yet another government chief capable of steering a budget through parliament, less than a year after the ouster of Bayrou’s conservative predecessor, Michel Barnier. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Macron has so far ruled out dissolving parliament, as he did last year. TILT TO THE LEFT? France has been mired in a political crisis since Macron called the 2024 snap election, which resulted in a hung parliament. His own alliance, already shorn of a majority since 2022, saw its numbers fall further, while the anti-immigration, far-right National Rally emerged as the biggest party. A loose coalition of left-wing parties, now deeply divided, came in as the largest bloc. No camp has a majority. "This crisis was provoked and fuelled by President Emmanuel Macron and all those who have served him," Marine Le Pen, head of the National Rally’s group of lawmakers, said on Sunday. "Today, the sick man of Europe, because of them, is France." After the fall of a conservative and a centrist as prime minister, most observers expect Macron to next look for a candidate from the ranks of the centre-left Socialists (PS). "He can’t go against the results of the polls a third time," Marine Tondelier, head of the smaller Greens party, told broadcaster BFM on Saturday. Any such candidate would still need to forge a delicate alliance with the president’s liberal bloc, which opposes many of the left’s ideas, including raising taxes for the wealthiest to plug the country’s financial holes. They would also have to convince the moderate right to tolerate yet another minority government. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Laurent Wauquiez, leading lawmaker for the conservative Les Republicains (LR) party, signalled he would not call for ousting a socialist prime minister. Party chief and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau, however, disagreed. "There is no way we will accept a socialist prime minister", Retailleau said in a speech on Sunday. "Come back in 10 days and you’ll see nothing will have changed. There won’t be a majority, there will be no budget."

France’s political turmoil past its worst, buy the dip: Barclays Investing.com -- France’s political turmoil has unsettled markets, but Barclays says the worst of the shock may be over and is advising investors to see recent weakness as a buying opportunity. Prime Minister François Bayrou faces a confidence vote on September 8, days before key budget negotiations and a nationwide protest planned for September 10. With both the far-right Rassemblement National and the left-wing New Popular Front set to oppose him, Barclays analysts see little chance of his government surviving. Should Bayrou fall, the bank considers it most likely that President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new prime minister from his own camp to carry forward budget work. This outcome, Barclays argues, would ease political risk after recent spikes. The alternatives, fresh elections or a resignation by Macron, would be more disruptive, though viewed as less probable. The political uncertainty has already filtered through French markets. The OAT-Bund spread widened to about 80 basis points from 65 basis points earlier in the week, approaching levels last reached during the June 2024 snap election. Credit default swaps also climbed back near those highs. French equities sold off, with the CAC 40 falling about 3% and Barclays’ domestic basket dropping roughly 7%. On a relative basis, MSCI France’s price-to-earnings ratio is near its lows again. Barclays outlines three possible paths. If Macron names a new prime minister, the bank expects the OAT-Bund spread to narrow toward 70 basis points, with a small rebound in equities. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. New elections could push the spread back to 90 basis points and knock another 2% to 3% off the broader index. A resignation would mark the most disruptive scenario, likely driving the spread to 100 basis points and sending domestic stocks down by double digits. Sector performance shows how political stress has hit the domestic economy hardest. At the current spread of 79 basis points, banks are down 9.2%, construction and materials 8.6%, and insurers 7.6%. Utilities have lost 6.3%, while industrial transport is off 5.5%. Autos and parts are down 2.3%, and real estate 2.6%. More defensive or internationally oriented areas have fared better, with health care up 0.2% and technology 0.6%. Barclays calculates that a narrowing of spreads would allow banks to rebound 4.7%, autos 3.2% and technology 2.7%. A widening to 90 basis points would deepen losses, with banks falling 5.4% and insurers 4%. At 100 basis points, the impact would be severe: banks down 10.5%, autos 7.1%, and insurers 7.7%. Domestic names are consistently more vulnerable, while exporters in sectors such as luxury goods are less exposed to local political shocks.

Thailand’s economy teeters as political turmoil threatens recovery efforts © Reuters. FILE PHOTO: Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra speaks during a press conference at the Government House, in Bangkok, Thailand, May 19, 2025. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha/File Photo 2885 1.04% SHR 0.00% By Orathai Sriring and Thanadech Staporncharnchai BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand’s economy is already on the ropes. Consumption has remained tepid despite a government stimulus programme, few of its economic engines are firing, and uncertainty wrought by U.S. President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs means that the Thai economy could grow just over 1% this year. Now, Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy faces a fresh challenge: a new round of political chaos that can bring down Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra or her ruling Pheu Thai party. "We are currently in a period of economic downturn, with many issues affecting us," Visit Limlurcha, vice chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, told Reuters. "This could make things even more complicated." The most significant short-term concern is the passage of a 3.78 trillion baht ($115 billion) budget for the 2026 fiscal year, which starts on October 1, that must pass through parliament over the next few months. That process could get stalled if Paetongtarn, who is under siege for her handling of a festering border row with neighbouring Cambodia, dissolves parliament and triggers fresh elections. "If parliament is dissolved before the budget is passed, the process will be delayed significantly," said Prakit Siriwattanaket, managing director of Merchant Partners Asset Management. Thailand’s economy has lagged regional peers as it struggles under high household debt and borrowing costs, and sluggish demand from China, which is also a key tourism market. It expanded 2.5% last year, and growth could be further halved this year due to U.S. tariffs, Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said last month. Thailand’s stock market has been the worst performing bourse in Asia so far this year, down 23.4%. Industrial sentiment also hit its lowest in eight months in May, even as consumer confidence dropped to a 27-month low. There is a clear need to press ahead with government spending, which has dropped by over 38% annually during April-May 2025, OCBC economists Lavanya Venkateswaran and Jonathan Ng said in a report on Thursday, warning of a "double whammy" for the economy if both government expenditure and exports weaken. PROTESTS AND TARIFFS Amid the ongoing tumult, Paetongtarn may be able to hang on to her premiership and a coalition led by her Pheu Thai party could retain its majority, albeit in a weaker position compared to its previous grip on the parliament. Such an arrangement will prolong political instability and raise the spectre of street protests, which have been part of previous crises and could hit one of Thailand’s key remaining economic engines: tourism. "I’m worried. I don’t want the situation to cause people to take to the streets," Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, President of Thai Hotels Association, which represents around 1,000 hospitality establishments, told Reuters. "If they take to the streets, it will hit tourism." Activists - including those who have in the past agitated against Paetongtarn’s father, the divisive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra - met on Friday to plan a major protest next week, and demanded the prime minister’s resignation. A government lacking full authority may also struggle in ongoing trade negotiations with the United States, which has threatened to impose a 36% tariff rate on imports from Thailand, said Natapon Khamthakrue, an analyst at Yuanta Securities. "The United States certainly would not want to talk to a government without full power or with few votes," he said. Some business chambers and analysts are, nonetheless, holding out hope that a political resolution can be found quickly, minimising damage to the Thai economy, which has been rattled by multiple coups in the last eight decades, including two against governments led by the Shinawatra family.

Turkey central bank hikes key interest rate amid political turmoil Investing.com -- Turkey’s central bank has increased its one-week repo rate to 46% from the previous 42.5%, a decision that contradicts its earlier trend of rate cuts. This move comes as political unrest threatens to impede the bank’s attempts to control the country’s high inflation. The bank’s decision to raise the rate was unexpected, as economists polled by FactSet had predicted that the rates would remain stable. The Turkish lira has been experiencing erratic fluctuations since last month when President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s primary opponent in the forthcoming presidential election, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, was jailed. The opposition has labeled the charges against Imamoglu as politically motivated. Imamoglu’s arrest sparked widespread protests and led to subsequent arrests, which in turn triggered a sell-off in the lira. However, this has not yet resulted in a new wave of inflation. Despite this, the strain on the country’s currency reserves has been so intense that it necessitated a rate hike, according to Timothy Ash, a Chatham House fellow specializing in emerging markets, including Turkey. Ash believes that the rate increase is the correct decision and stated, "I think disinflation should be rapid from here now given global trade wars will slow the global economy and cut commodity import prices for Turkey, and this should enable them to cut, and perhaps quite aggressively again, by year-end."
