banks. >> what about these french banks? are you really worried about it? or do you think it's just market rumors? there's been a lot of rumor and counterrumor. the french sovereign raising is almost secure. there's no question that the french will do the deficit cutting program and balanced budget. they have a strong track record about this. there is concern about exposure to the southern euro zone. this is something we shouldn't get too overexcited about. >> is there likely to be more -- are there likely to be more comments, more headlines? we're going to learn about the exact exposure to banks. is there more to come? >> well, i think it's understandable that investors and lenders to banks, those involved with banks, understand what's on their balance sheets. how much they have in terms of exposure to greek governments, italy. they did have strong capital cushions. and by and large, the french banks did avoid the 2007, 2008 crisis. they didn't have a property bubble. there's a lot of positives in the french banking system.

the french always come back, even during a downturn. but many other businesses are feeling the pinch. consumption is an important economic indicator. the french public is reining in spending, but government that is growing fast. just a few years ago, the french public debt was 64% of gdp. it rose to 81% france is the euro zone's second biggest economy. these debt figures are a great concern it faces resistance from the bloated, public sector. one out of every five people work for the state. and the french president that attempts to raise taxes, of this said that he must protests. the result has been stagnant state revenues, stretching back over years. the country is living behind its means, as this graph shows. last years of massive demonstration at the retirement age until 62. now he is getting ready to deliver harsher measures. >> stay with us for more news here on dw tv.
