The outbreak of prices and the conflict in Ukraine upset once again the government’s budget calendar. Bercy transmitted to parliamentarians, Friday, March 25, a “advance decree” allowing to emerge at emergency nearly 6 billion euros of appropriations, to finance recent advertisements for the purchasing power of households and businesses in A context of rising inflation, but also the reception of displaced persons arriving in France.
This possibility, given by the budgetary texts – an advance decree of 7 billion euros was used in early May 2021, in order to adjust the support measures to the economy as part of the Pandemic of Covid -, allows the government not to reconvocate Parliament, while legislative work is suspended, fifteen days of the first round of presidential poll, April 10.
It is also a way to avoid a new debate on the expenses incurred by the President Candidate Macron, while the purchasing power support is now € 26 billion since September 2021, and that the Minister From the economy, Bruno the mayor, and his counterpart to the public accounts, Olivier Dussopt, refuse to compare the current period to “whatever it costs” which prevailed for two years.
However, since the announcements of the last few weeks, some envelopes devoted to the measures have been singularly increased. Thus, the 15 cents per liter at the pump announced on March 12 by Jean Castex, and who was to cost “just over 2 billion euros” before being revised at 2.8 billion, will actually represent some 3 billion euros of credits. “The measurement has been refined, and the field of relevant fuels has expanded (natural gas, GPL, LNG, some biofuels …)”, Details to Bercy. The Prime Minister, however, indicated from the outset that the discount would be valid for all fuels. The rebate will be even reaching 18 cents for metropolitan drivers, a difference that is explained by the amount of VAT applied in the different French territories, according to AFP.

On the other hand, the businesses component of the Resilience Plan, intended to support those who consume a lot of energy and that the rise in courses could make deficit, is no more than 1.5 billion euros, Against the 3 billion announced on March 16th. “It was a cost over the whole year, but the measurement only until the end of July, which will give the next government the freedom to do what it then wishes,” says Bercy.
