This Monday, October 6, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu handed his resignation to Emmanuel Macron, barely a month after his appointment. The President of the Republic immediately accepted his resignation, plunging France into a new period of political uncertainty.

Named on 9 September last, Sébastien Lecornu thus becomes the most ephemeral Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic. His resignation comes in a context of strong tensions between the parties, calls for the dissolution of the National Assembly, and open contestation of the President of the Republic. In just two years, France has had five prime ministers—a sign of growing institutional and economic instability.

While political debates are bogged down, the economy, taxation and investor confidence are suffering from this permanent uncertainty. Reforms are constantly being questioned, tax policies change from one finance law to another, and the real estate market is directly affected by them.

🌍 Invest elsewhere to preserve one’s heritage

In this context, diversifying one’s investments abroad becomes more than a wealth strategy: it is a necessity to secure one’s capital.
Markets like Portugal, Greece, or even Brazil (notably Rio) today offer:

a more stable and sometimes more attractive taxation,

higher rental yields,

and a more predictable legal framework for investors.

Faced with political instability that undermines economic visibility, it becomes essential to no longer concentrate one’s wealth exclusively in France.
Geographical diversification helps to preserve profitability and ensure the sustainability of investments, regardless of the political climate in France.

đź’ˇ In summary

The express resignation of the Prime Minister is not a simple political fact: it is a strong signal for investors. As long as France remains in this spiral of instability, international investments appear as a strategic evidence.
