A budget hunts the other. While the second part of the 2023 budget, devoted to expenses, is still debated in the National Assembly, the government should present, Wednesday, November 2, its amending finance bill (PLFR). This text, an end -of -year classic intended to adjust the accounts of the State, is in fact the second connective budget of 2022. The first had been adopted in July, at the same time as the emergency measures for power purchase intended to combat the effects of the energy crisis.
In Bercy, we recall that this second PLFR “is a continuation of the” package power package “voted this summer, a year after the implementation of the first measures to fight against the increase in Price “.
Concretely, the text confirms two recent announcements from the executive. First the establishment of an exceptional energy check, announced in mid-September by the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, at the same time as the extension for 2023 of the price shield on gas and electricity for households. In the amount of 100 to 200 euros depending on the income, it targets the 40 % most modest French people (12 million households). It must be paid “by the end of the year”, specifies Bercy, and represents an expense of 1.5 billion euros for public finances.
Another measure, which dates from mid-October, the extension until November 15 of the rebate to the pump of 30 cents per liter, initially planned to last until 1 er November, which will cost 440 million euros. This generalized fuel aid must then drop to 10 cents per liter before turning off at the end of the year.
The amending budget also contains measures to support the ministries most affected by the prices: 275 million euros to help universities and research operators to pay for their energy bills, and 200 million to finance the Fuels of the Ministry of the Armed Forces.
Some good surprises
As for France Skills, the operator in charge of apprenticeship, he sees his budget of an additional 2 billion euros “in order to hold the objective of 800,000 contracts signed this year”, it is said at the Ministry of Economy and Finance. But “technical cancellations” of credits (such as the sums which had been put in reserve for possible defects of companies on the loans guaranteed by the State) make it possible to limit the total of the new expenses to 2.5 billion of euros.
