The new French government has announced cuts to public spending to bring the deficit below an EU limit that has been flouted for a decade, reports BBC News.
It says it will cut 4.5 billion euros (£4bn; $5.1bn), primarily from defence, interior, foreign affairs, and transport.
The cuts mean spending projections fall to 322 billion euros in 2017.
But the government has pledged that neither public services nor taxes will be affected.
President Emmanuel Macron made meeting the EU Stability Pact budget rules - that the deficit should not exceed 3% of output - one of his campaign pledges.
"We will keep France's word," budget minister Gérald Darmanin told daily Le Parisien, where he announced the programme in an interview published on Tuesday.
He later told RTL radio station that the savings were "simply a matter of being rigorous".
The biggest savings will come from:
- The defence ministry, where an existing plan to cut the military budget by 850 million euros will be honoured
- The interior ministry, where 526 million euros of operating costs will be cut "without affecting the police force and gendarmerie", Mr Darmanin said, during France's prolonged state of emergency following a spate of deadly attacks
- The foreign affairs ministry, where 282 million euros will go - half in overseas aid
- The transport ministry, where cancelled infrastructure projects will save 260 million euros.
Cuts will also hit the official fleet of cars and the prime minister's office, among others.
The savings will defy gloomy predictions by the Court of Auditors, which had warned that the 2017 deficit ratio would reach 3.2% unless the government made "unprecedented" savings.
