Hospital Funding Watch: A new Drees study says France’s public hospital deficit is projected to hit 2.1% of revenue in 2025 (about €2.3B), after 2.7% in 2024 (€2.9B)—the highest level since 2005—driven by rising operating costs and loan interest, even as wage growth slows and Ségur investment grants don’t fully reverse declining hospital investment. Space for Health & Environment: Copernicus Sentinel-3C is set to launch from French Guiana on Avio’s Vega-C on Sept. 14, joining Sentinel-3A and 3B to keep delivering ocean, land, ice, and atmosphere data—useful for climate tracking, disaster response, and spotting algal blooms via ocean-color changes. Launch Details: Avio also announced the mission timing and orbit plan for Sentinel-3C plus ESA’s FLEX satellite, with routine operations expected to support weather, environmental protection, and vegetation monitoring from space. Regional Finance & Policy: CARICOM’s tax administrators meet in Georgetown under a “future-ready” theme, with CARICOM leadership stressing smarter, data-driven revenue systems as development funding becomes less predictable.
