Three and six-month bonds yields in French 2018-2024

Since early 2020 the difference between the yield on three and six month bonds issued by the French government has fluctuated, with six month bonds being higher in early and late 2020, while three-month bonds recorded a higher yield at most other points of this period. As of May 2024, three-month bonds reached a yield of 3.7 percent, while yields on six-month bonds were just slightly lower. Positive bond yields signify that investors receive more money at the bond's maturity than the original purchase price of the bond, owing to low demand for the bond on money or capital markets.
