The Minister Delegate to the Minister for the Economy, Finance and Recovery, in charge of Public Accounts, recalled on franceinfo the line defended by Emmanuel Macron: “to produce wealth”, to be “more autonomous”, to enable “solidarity”.
The government forecasts 4% growth for 2022 and “We are on an assumption which consists in maintaining this growth forecast”declared on Saturday March 5 on franceinfo Olivier Dussopt, Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, in charge of Public Accounts.
“We do not yet know how to measure, no one knows on a global scale, the consequences of this crisis on world growth, therefore on European growth and therefore on French growth”he added.
“We are the first government to have held the 3% rule, to have stabilized the level of debt relative to GDP and to have lowered taxes.”

“From 2017 to 2020 before the Covid crisis we limited the increase in state spending, public spending in general, to 0.8% per year“, he continued. “Despite the crisis, over the five-year period we will have lowered taxes by 50 billion, half for the French and half for companies. We are doing it in a reasonable way and with the desire not to stifle growth so as not to not repeat the mistakes of past years”said Olivier Dussopt.
In addition, Emmanuel Macron in his “Letter to the French”, published in the regional press, indicated that more work would be needed. “We are in a perspective of recovery, it is a concrete and constant line that the President of the Republic has taken. We must produce, be more autonomous, produce wealth because that is what allows solidarity”said the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Economy, Finance and Recovery, in charge of Public Accounts.
