3 Month Bill Yield

Government bonds are issued and backed by the French government denominated in euro currency. The yield on the bonds represents the return investors require for taking the risk to lend the government with their money. All other things equal, the lower the yield the lower the expectations of a default and vice versa. The prices of the bond are inversely related to the bond’s yield. This metric is reported on a daily basis by Agence France Tresor.
