Good news for the construction and public works sector. The Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, announced a series of measures to support the sector in the face of inflation, Thursday, September 22, during a progress report of the Assises du BTP meeting in Paris.
The goal now is to“open discussions with all local authorities so that these state measures can serve as an example”said Bruno Le Maire during the press conference.
Among the 13 measures are sustainability “definitive” 100,000 euros from the ceiling which exempts public works contracts from calls for tenders, as well as the long-awaited possibility of revising the prices of current public markets, in the event of an explosion in the costs of raw materials or energy. This subject will be the subject of a circular “in the next few days”said the minister during a press conference.
The ambition being to “reconciling growth and climate”a consultation will also be launched on the establishment of a carbon-score on materials, in a sector which is one of the largest emitters of CO2 in France.
“These are the first announcements, which allow us to be supported quickly and respond to essential measures that we had requested”, reacted Jean-Christophe Repon, president of the Confederation of crafts and small building companies (Capeb) . However for Bruno Cavagné, president of the FNTP (National Federation of Public Works), “only the content of the finance bill for 2023 will act as a justice of the peace”.
