Frequently Asked Questions
What is the France 10-year OAT yield?
The OAT yield is the annual return on a 10-year French government bond (Obligation Assimilable du Trésor). France is the euro area's second-largest economy and bond market, making the OAT one of the region's core sovereign benchmarks.
Why watch French yields alongside German yields?
The OAT-Bund spread — the gap between French and German 10-year yields — is a widely watched gauge of stress within the euro area. Historically, the spread has widened during episodes of French fiscal or political uncertainty and during broader euro area debt strains, and narrowed in calm periods.
How often is this series updated?
This series is a monthly average of daily OAT yields, compiled in the OECD Main Economic Indicators and sourced here from FRED. This page updates with each new monthly value.
