France's public debt has exceeded the $3 trillion mark (€2,950.0 billion) which marks an increase of 126.4 billion euros ($137 billion) over the past year, the French National Institute of Statistics reported on Tuesday.

This means that the entirety of the french population lives off credit. 

"General government Maastricht debt (or consolidated gross debt in nominal value) increased by €126.4 billion in 2022 and stood at €2,950.0 billion," the statement read.  

However, in percentage terms, the national debt has slightly decreased from 112.9% of GDP (2021) to 111.6% (2022).
