France&#8217;s Hôtel Matignon is set to have a new resident now that President Emmanuel Macron has tapped a centrist ally, François Bayrou, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/france">the new prime minister</a>. 
What Happened: Macron&#8217;s announcement comes roughly one week after former PM Michel Barnier lost a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/eurozone/24/12/42330913/mohamed-el-erian-calls-michel-barniers-ouster-an-example-of-messy-politics-notes-greek-and-french-bonds-achieving-historic-parity">no-confidence vote and resigned</a>. 
Bayrou, a 73-year-old political veteran and founder of the centrist Democratic Movement, has run for president three times. 
He's also been the mayor of Pau, a southwestern town in France, since 2014.

Political tensions are high due to France's soaring deficit. The country faces $42 billion in spending cuts and $21 billion in tax hikes, deepening divisions within the fractured National Assembly.
Barnier warned that his far-right critics, namely Marine Le Pen's National Rally and the leftist New Popular Front, will cause millions of French citizens to face economic instability, including rising interest rates and tax hikes, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/dec/03/france-no-confidence-motion-government-budget-michel-barnier-latest-updates">per</a> the Guardian.
Barnier only took office in September. 
Macron is halfway through his second term as president. Bayrou would be the fourth prime minister this year, according to the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyx04pmnrgo">BBC</a>. Elisabeth Borne and Gabriel Attal preceded Barnier.
If Le Pen&#8217;s allies form a strong enough opposition, they could potentially complicate the passage of critical legislation.
On a national level, France&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39657677/french-elections-take-a-surprising-turn-as-left-poised-for-victory-what-does-that-mean-for-the-marke">snap election this past summer</a> underscored how Le Pen&#8217;s party continues to show increased strength over Macron&#8217;s centrist party.

Macron Taps Bayrou To Navigate France's Fractured Politics: ETFs To Watch

Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz&#8216;s Chief Economic Advisor, warned on Wednesday about the growing intersection of political and economic challenges in France following Prime Minister Michel Barnier&#8216;s historic no-confidence ouster, even as Greek bonds achieved parity with French sovereign debt for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42328909/french-government-collapses-after-vote-of-no-confidence">first time since the Eurozone crisis</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;What we are seeing in France these days is yet another example of messy politics contaminating economics,&#8221; El-Erian wrote on X, distinguishing the current situation from Britain&#8217;s 2022 &#8220;Liz Truss moment&#8221; due to France&#8217;s Eurozone backing and different global financial context.
The political upheaval comes as Greek 10-year sovereign bonds closed their yield gap against French bonds in late November, trading below 3% &#8211; a remarkable turnaround from the peak of the Eurozone crisis when Greek bonds yielded 40 percentage points more than French debt.

Bank of America analyst Athanasios Vamvakidis attributes Greece&#8217;s resurgence to fiscal discipline and economic reforms, with the country expecting a primary budget surplus of 2.4% of GDP this year, <a href="https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/11/29/greek-bonds-mark-historical-milestone-spread-erased-against-france">reported</a> Euronews. Meanwhile, according to Goldman Sachs, France faces mounting pressure over its rising debt-to-GDP ratio, which is projected to reach 118% by 2027.

Why It Matters: Barnier&#8217;s removal followed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42328909/french-government-collapses-after-vote-of-no-confidence">parliamentary opposition to his proposed</a> €60 billion spending-cut package, with National Rally leader Marine Le Pen calling the budget &#8220;toxic for the French.&#8221; 
The political stalemate threatens to complicate France&#8217;s fiscal consolidation efforts as Eurostat forecasts French economic growth to slow to 0.8% in 2025, while Greece is projected to grow by 2.3%.
President Emmanuel Macron is expected to name a new prime minister, though the political deadlock in the Assembly will likely persist until new elections can be held in July. 
El-Erian noted that while France benefits from Eurozone institutional support, the current situation &#8220;will undermine growth and raise borrowing costs.&#8221;

Mohamed El-Erian Calls Michel Barnier's Ouster An Example Of 'Messy Politics,' Notes Greek And French Bonds Achieving Historic Parity

The French government collapsed on Wednesday following a successful no-confidence vote, throwing France, the eurozone&#8217;s second-largest economy,<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/04/french-government-toppled-in-no-confidence-vote-brought-by-opposition.html"> into political turmoil.</a>&nbsp;
The Details: The motion passed with 331 votes, far exceeding the required 288, as lawmakers from both the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) alliance and the far-right National Rally (RN) united in opposition.&nbsp;
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42316904/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-dies-after-being-shot-outside-nyc-hotel">UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Fatally Shot Outside NYC Hotel</a>
The historic vote was triggered after Prime Minister Michel Barnier used special constitutional powers to force a social security budget bill through Parliament without a vote.
Barnier, who had been in office for just three months, will now have to resign, marking the shortest tenure for a prime minister in France&#8217;s Fifth Republic.
Why It Matters: The government&#8217;s fall complicates France&#8217;s efforts to address its budget deficit and implement planned spending cuts and tax increases.&nbsp;
French President Emmanuel Macron must face the challenge of appointing a new prime minister, with the political landscape remaining divided until the next possible legislative elections in summer 2025.&nbsp;
Barnier is expected to resign immediately and Macron is supposed to ask him to continue as a &#8220;caretaker&#8221; prime minister while looking for a replacement. 
Investors can monitor the market's reaction to the political turmoil through the iShares MSCI France ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWQ#NYSE">EWQ</a>) which provides targeted exposure to the French economy. The ETF's top holdings include LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMHF#OTC">LVMHF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVMUY#OTC">LVMUY</a>), TotalEnergies SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) and Schneider Electric SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBGSY#OTC">SBGSY</a>).&nbsp;

French Government Collapses After Vote Of No Confidence

Russian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39328782/deepening-military-ties-between-kim-jong-uns-north-korea-and-putins-russia-worry-south-korea-and-us">President Vladimir Putin</a> has promised to order a ceasefire in Ukraine and start negotiations if Kyiv begins removing troops from four regions that Moscow added in 2022 and abandons plans to join NATO.
Ukraine has refused Putin&#8217;s proposal, calling it &#8220;manipulative&#8221; and &#8220;absurd&#8221;, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/putin-russia-ukraine-war-4f58423548b3d2e8594c9d9eb8e9d36e">reports</a>.
Putin made this promise as Switzerland planned to host world leaders, excluding those in Moscow, this weekend in an attempt to come up with a plan designed at establishing peace in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, leaders from the Group of Seven industrialized countries have met at the G7 Summit in Italy as the U.S. signed a 1<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39322621/biden-zelenskyy-strengthen-ties-with-new-security-agreement-at-g7-summit">0-year security pact </a>with Ukraine that Russia dismissed as &#8220;null and void,&#8221; according to the AP.

Putin also demanded in his proposal that Ukraine recognize Crimea as part of Russia, which would keep Crimea&#8217;s nonnuclear status, limit its military force and safeguard interests of the Russian-speaking population. He also requested that all Western sanctions against Russia be lifted.
In addition to wanting to join NATO, Ukraine wants Russian forces to leave its territory and that Russia be held responsible for war crimes committed since the war began un February 2022. Ukraine also wants Moscow to pay reparations to Kyiv.
Ukraine faces Russian-imposed energy crisis
Ukraine is implementing blackouts as it tries to fix its electrical grid and look for spare parts after Russia bombed its utilities and cut the country&#8217;s electricity supply by half, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/russias-devastating-attacks-on-ukraines-grid-spark-fears-of-brutal-winter-e4febeef">reported</a>.
The Russian onslaught, carried out by missiles and explosive drones, have led to widespread use of generators across Ukraine as power companies try to repair the damage during hourslong blackouts.
Industry analysts warn that the situation could become much worse in the winter as demand for electricity rises to meet the need for heating and water, according to the Journal.
Restoration of Ukraine&#8217;s energy infrastructure may cost $50 billion, according to DTEK, Ukraine&#8217;s largest private energy investor. To address the need for parts, DTEK has been working with European countries across Europe to find usable parts at decommissioned power plants.
State power company Ukrenergo has received 30.4 million euros, equivalent to around $33 million, from Germany to support energy infrastructure, while the EU said 1.4 billion euros in grants will be available to businesses working in the energy sector, the WSJ reported.
DTEK announced partnerships with U.S. energy companies Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) and GE Vernova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>) as well as French energy company Schneider Electric (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBGSY#OTC">SBGSY</a>), which has donated 43,000 pieces of emergency equipment worth 4 million euros since February 2022.

Tracking Last Week's Top Performers: Are These 7 Large-Cap Stocks In Your Portfolio? (April 13-20, 2024)

The French industrial giant&nbsp;Schneider Electric&nbsp;SE&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBGSY#OTC">SBGSY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBGSF#OTC">SBGSF</a>) has&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.se.com/ww/en/assets/564/document/465961/schneider-electric-press-release-19-04-2024.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">confirmed&nbsp;</a>holding discussions for a potential acquisition of&nbsp;Bentley Systems&nbsp;Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSY#NASDAQ">BSY</a>), a company known for its engineering software solutions.&nbsp;
As per the Schneider Electric statement, discussions regarding a potential transaction remain at a preliminary stage, emphasizing the lack of certainty regarding the outcome of these talks.
Bentley Systems also acknowledged the&nbsp;public statement&nbsp;made today by Schneider Electric&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38331965" rel="noreferrer noopener">in response to recent market speculation.</a>
Earlier, The&nbsp;Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/schneider-electric-in-talks-to-take-control-of-bentley-systems-d0aad58f?mod=hp_lista_pos2" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported&nbsp;</a>that Schneider Electric and Bentley Systems are considering merging Schneider&#8217;s software business with Bentley, potentially resulting in a deal exceeding $15 billion.&nbsp;
Despite the potential merger, Bentley&nbsp;is expected&nbsp;to remain a publicly traded entity, albeit significantly&nbsp;larger&nbsp;than before.
Bentley Systems, a family-controlled company co-founded by brothers Keith and Barry Bentley in 1984, specializes in providing software for structural and civil engineers involved in infrastructure projects.
Their software&nbsp;is utilized&nbsp;across various sectors, including transportation, water treatment, and construction.
With an annual revenue surpassing $1 billion, Bentley Systems went public in 2020. The recent leadership transition saw Chief Executive Greg Bentley assuming the role of executive chair of the board of directors, with Nicholas Cumins set to become the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/37867934" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;new chief executive effective July 1.</a>
According to the report, Schneider Electric, valued at approximately $127 billion, has a history of strategic acquisitions to bolster its industrial software portfolio, aiming to compete with industry giants like&nbsp;Siemens&nbsp;AG&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIEGY#OTC">SIEGY</a>) and&nbsp;Rockwell Automation Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>).
The potential acquisition of Bentley Systems follows Schneider&#8217;s earlier move in 2017 when it acquired the British&nbsp;engineering-software&nbsp;provider&nbsp;Aveva Group.
Price Action: BSY, which closed higher by 3.89% at $52.06 on Thursday, is trading lower by 0.12% at $52 premarket Friday.
