Containment forces, the French have massively put aside these last few weeks. To the point of worrying the executive, who sees it as a risk to the consumer, the growth and the recovery of the activity. Spending too frosty could undermine the recovery, and this while the French economy depends heavily on sales to households. “This is not the savings we need today for our economy, but investment”, had said Bruno Le Maire, in mid-April, to the national Assembly. It must be said that the minister advised the French to diversify their investments, even before the crisis, citing the example of savings plans in shares or life insurance.
“The side savings prevailed, the resumption of consumption,” commented economist and director of the Circle of savings Philippe Crevel. “The deflation of the booklet A and the prize pool incorporated has not yet begun, quite the opposite : the households have increased their precautionary savings”. A continuation of the process initiated in march and that is “logical, given the context and uncertainties”, considers the expert.
The collection of the booklet Has been and remains particularly dynamic : after reaching a record substantially historical in April, with close to 5.5 billion euros – the collection the largest was carried out in January 2013, with 8,21 billion euros, on the occasion of the raising of the ceiling of the booklet-it was nearing in may, 4 billion euros. Several factors can explain this success : “in every crisis, there has been a recovery of deposits, the household set aside as savings, liquid, guaranteed by the State is a safe haven,” says Philippe Crevel. In addition, the closure of bank branches and the fact that the containment has to intervene during a usual period of collection of booklets have also been able to play.
On the long term, the government has, therefore, “work to be done to encourage households to redirect their savings or dip into their nest egg,” said the expert. It will, in fact, reassure the French, who, in the last few years, were saving already growing, marked by successive crises such as the “yellow vests” or the conflict around the reform of pensions. “Everything was to this that the savings are massive, these days,” adds the economist, noting the “wait and see “households”, worried for the future. Cat gun-shy is afraid of cold water.
