Purchasing power: measures announced Thursday July 7 by the government

Fighting rising inflation is the government’s priority. For this do, a package of measures will be announced on Thursday 7 July. “Civil servants get a 3.5% raise. It will be paid from the month of August with retroactive effect for the month of July”, first indicates the journalist Christelle Méral, present on the set of 19/20, Wednesday July 6. She goes on to say: “Social benefits will be increased by 4%, that is to say family allowances, the activity bonus, the APL (housing allowances) and the handicapped allowance bonus.” The food check will also see the light of day, with 100 euros paid per family.

The various energies bear the brunt of inflation, the government will therefore decide to introduce and leave measures to benefit users. “The rebate of 18 cents per liter continues until the end of August, then the government would like to replace it with aid targeted at employees who need their car to work”adds Christelle Meral. The increase in electricity prices remains capped, and that of gas will not be increased. Rent increases will also be regulated and capped.
