Article R313-14 of the French Consumer Code

The assessment of solvency is based on information relating to:
1° The borrower’s income, savings and assets;
2° The borrower’s regular expenditure, debts and other financial commitments.
The creditor shall take into account, as far as possible, events that may occur during the term of the proposed credit agreement such as, where applicable, a possible increase in the borrowing rate or a risk of a negative change in the exchange rate in the case of a loan denominated in a currency other than the euro referred to in Article L. 3136-64.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R313-14

L’évaluation de la solvabilité se fonde sur des informations relatives :
1° Aux revenus de l’emprunteur, à son épargne et à ses actifs ;
2° Aux dépenses régulières de l’emprunteur, à ses dettes et autres engagements financiers.
Le prêteur tient compte, dans la mesure du possible, des événements pouvant survenir pendant la durée du contrat de crédit proposé tels que, le cas échéant, une augmentation possible du taux débiteur ou un risque d’évolution négative du taux de change en cas de prêt libellé en devise autre que l’euro mentionné à l’article L. 3136-64.
