One prediction market prices this story:

  • Above $4.3 trillion — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if France's nominal GDP exceeds $4.3 trillion in 2026. It resolves to No if that threshold is not met. Readers often mistake this for a measure of current economic performance rather than the specific forecast for 2026.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
