Tuesday, June 29, to help the French to improve their purchasing power, the government announced measures, but this aid could be expensive for the State as Chloé Tixier explains on set.

Purchasing power is a major problem and the government will put in place measures to help the French. The first of these is a food check of 100 euros for the households most in difficulty. Its cost should be a total of one billion euros. Another solution announced by the state, the revaluation of the RSA, retirement pensions or housing allowances which should cost no less than 7 billion euros.

These two aids are not the only ones announced, as Chloé Tixier points out: Also count 7.5 billion euros for the increase in the index point of civil servants, the note therefore promises to be salty for public finances, in total 50 billion euros by the end of the year. To finance all this, the State is counting on jobs, on an economy which could be flourishing and bring in 55 billion euros despite this, the budget remains worrying.
