amortisement payments in France
Dans ce contexte, le respect de la règle organique ne tiendra que si les pouvoirs publics internalisent et anticipent suffisamment la contrainte dans les prochaines années pour organiser les nécessaires reprises de dette dans un calendrier adapté et resserré, et pour inscrire ces efforts dans une trajectoire crédible de redressement.
En tout état de cause, l’extinction de la caisse conduirait à dégager plus de 13 Md€ de ressources annuelles pour la sécurité sociale (sans tenir compte des versements de 2,1 Md€ du FRR qui ont eux >>>vocation à s’épuiser),

intended to be exhausted
IMO
The Fidelity funds are intended to be exhausted at their target date (thus, the snarky nickname for this investment, "target death funds"). The Vanguard funds are intended to last throughout your life, but that's not guaranteed.

Thank you. Yes, "meant" might work too.

planned expiry / due to expire
This is almost two answers, but both revolve around "expire"for s'épuiser and the only real difference is in the wording of the entire sentence.

Example sentence:
...(excluding the planned expiry of the €2,1 bn FRR payments)...
...(excluding the €2,1 bn in FRR payments which are due to expire)...

whose days are numbered
you have put the whole text in the future tense and not in the conditional. Do you have a particular reason for that?
Your draft needs quite some work.....
