Will France pass a 2027 national budget by December 31, 2026?
Market Rules
SUMMARY
This market resolves "Yes" if France's 2027 budget law (Loi de finances pour 2027) is passed by Parliament and published in the Journal officiel by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM CET. Special or emergency funding bills do not count.
FULL DETAILS
If the French Parliament passes a national budget for 2027 (Loi de finances pour 2027) and it is published in the Official Journal of the French Republic (Journal officiel) by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM CET (UTC+01:00; 22:59 UTC), this market will resolve to "Yes"; otherwise, it will resolve to "No". Only the Loi de finances pour 2027 counts; special or emergency funding bills are not taken into account. The Primary Designated Source is official information from the French Government, specifically the Official Journal of the French Republic (journal-officiel.gouv.fr); a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
A qualifying budget must provide funding for the entire year 2027. Both conditions are required: passage by Parliament and publication in the Journal officiel by the deadline; a budget passed but not published by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM CET resolves this market to "No". Resolution follows the plain intent of this contract; technicalities that do not change its substance will not alter the outcome.
