Boost to buying power
Three-quarters of households are set to see a rise in purchasing power this year, with an average boost of €440, due in part to the measures introduced after the gilets jaunes protests.
A total of €11.7 billion will be shared out in 2019, according to the independent research agency l’Observatoire Français des Conjonctures Economiques (OFCE). “For the first time since 2007, costs for households will drop significantly, especially among middle-earners,” it said.
