Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says he is not surprised France's sovereign credit status has been downgraded.
On Saturday, international agency Standard and Poor's reduced the rating of nine European countries.
France is now rated as AA+, the same as the Isle of Man.
Mr Teare doesn't believe the change will impact on the Island directly, but it could have other effects within Europe:
Ramsey venue to cease breakfast offering from September
Over 120 environmental leaders to meet on Island
Phishing warning issued to Isle of Man Etsy sellers
