PBOC MPC met for its Q2 2026 policy meeting.

Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally and chair of its parliamentary group in the National Assembly, said on the evening of July 7 she will run in the 2027 presidential election. Le Pen has polled strongly in recent French surveys and has run three times previously, reaching the second round in 2017 and 2022 but losing both to President Emmanuel Macron. Earlier on July 7 the Paris Court of Appeal upheld her conviction for misappropriation of public funds but amended her sentence, restoring her legal eligibility to stand in 2027.
