President Macron, elected in May over Marine Le Pen, plans to flesh out proposals for a new phase in European Union integration.
An official at his office said the 39-year-old president believed a pooled budget for the euro currency zone would be necessary.
His planned statement on Europe follows yesterday’s elections in which Chancellor Angela Merkel and her party emerged in first place but will now have to open talks with other parties to form a coalition government.
Mrs Merkel began the tough task of trying to build a government today after securing a fourth term as chancellor, urging the centre-left Social Democrats not the shut the door on a re-run of their “grand coalition”.
Damaged by her decision two years ago to allow more than one million migrants into Germany, Merkel’s conservative bloc secured 33 percent of the vote, losing 8.5 points – its lowest level since 1949. Her coalition allies, the centre-left Social Democrats, also slumped and said they would go into opposition.

Voters flocked to the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), the first far-right party to enter the German parliament in more than half a century. However, the AfD hardly had time to savour its third-place showing before it fell into internal bickering.
Many Germans see the rise of the AfD as a similar rejection of the status quo as votes for Brexit and Donald Trump last year.
But Germany’s political centre held up better than in Britain and the United States as more voters have benefited from globalisation and most shun the country’s extremist past.
