  "account": "In the past week, bond markets have been marked by nervousness. At week's end, yields for French 10-year government bonds were around 4.9%, compared to 5.24% for U.S. 10-year bonds, 5.5% for the UK, and 3% for Japan's. Despite France's higher debt-to-GDP ratio, it yields higher interest rates than Italy or Greece. However, Greece's national debt continues to decline, and Italy has managed to keep its debt-to-GDP ratio stable. On the other hand, France's debt dynamics are extremely high, and the French government shows no willingness to implement even modest consolidation measures. This growing fear of a renewed sovereign debt crisis in Europe is gradual, as this time, it involves a large country with massive debt levels in absolute terms. After 2009, smaller member states were absorbed during the EU debt crisis.",
