Why It Matters
The debate on public debt and the management of household savings is a recurring subject in the French political landscape.
Budget 2027: Jordan Bardella calls for an “urgent” vote on a “golden rule” in the Constitution.
This “golden rule” would take up the “principle” already stated by the RN candidate for the Élysée, Marine Le Pen, namely “that no budget can be voted on if it increases the level of debt of the country”, specifies Jordan Bardella in a video broadcast on his social networks.
Livret A, life insurance... In the event of a financial crisis, are all of the French people's savings really safe?
In the event of a major crisis, several mechanisms would allow the State to request or immobilize part of the financial assets of households. Exceptional scenarios, but less and less improbable.
Sébastien Lecornu announces an increase in February of the Livret A ceiling which could go up to 30,000 euros.
“We will do it in February at the same time as updating the rate which will also increase,” declared the Prime Minister during the government questions session in the National Assembly.
