Will the rise in inflation benefit Livret A holders? While the government has just announced at the beginning of November the increase, next February, of the ceiling of this very popular savings product among the French, several experts calculate that the increase could be quite significant. To the great satisfaction of its nearly 58 million holders, who are still suffering - it should be remembered - from a sharp rise in inflation. According to initial projections, the Livret A rate could thus reach between 2.50% and 2.80% depending on estimates. This is a level that had not been reached since February 2025, when it went from 3% to 2.40%, due to a drop in inflation.
