Private sector debt includes the stock of liabilities, debt securities and loans held by non-financial corporations, households and non-profit institutions serving households. Between 2008 and 2018, the non-consolidated debt of the private sector in France increased by almost 1.9 trillion euros, reaching its highest value of five trillion euros in 2018. France also had the highest private sector debt among all countries in the Eurozone.
Indebtedness is correlated with rising income levels since borrowing allows increase in consumption and investment. Nevertheless, overborrowing exposes businesses to risk of changes in economic conditions, interest rates and inflation.
