“indicators are green but the enemy, he is crouching”. Invited this Friday morning on the plateau de BFMTV-RMC, the secretary of State for the Economy Agnès Pannier-Runacher was in favor of an acceleration – cautious – of the déconfinement to revive the economy, in the face of the ever-present threat of the coronavirus. A recovery that will in particular the Île-de-France, always in the “orange zone”, is going green.

restaurateurs in the region, which currently cannot re-open their terraces, have been sounding the alarm. “We are on their side, it was a plan of unparalleled support, said Agnès Pannier-Runacher. The merchants are the first recipients. Restaurateurs benefit partial unemployment until the end of the year. Home delivery is also an additional revenue, and this needs to continue”.
When will therefore be announced a date for resumption? “In the next few hours, wrote the secretary of State. Perhaps in forty-eight, within seventy-two hours…” The president of the Republic must speak to the nation Sunday. A speech in which Emmanuel Macron could talk about the future, or the abandonment, of the pension reform, completely set aside during the health crisis. “It will be necessary to arbitrate, has yet beat Agnès Pannier-Runacher. Me, I don’t know (if it will be dropped), and I am very comfortable to tell you”.
Risk of “decommissioning”
to encourage firms to speed up the recovery, the government plans to limit the use of partial unemployment, which has been solid since the beginning of the economic crisis and health. The State will gradually reduce its participation to this device. Since the 1st June, already, employers are no longer reimbursed to 85%, while the employees receive, however, still 84% of their net salary.
The recovery will not soak up all the damage of a prolonged period of shutdown of the economy. In the coming months, “we expect an increase in unemployment, we’re not going to lie, conceded Agnès Pannier-Runacher. I called the companies to accelerate, or we will be downgraded compared to countries such as Germany” where the industrial activity has resumed in a more dynamic way.
Renault ‘at the edge of the abyss”
Among the industries affected by the health crisis, Renault is in the foreground. The French jewel of the automobile to engage in a savings plan that focuses on two billion euros over three years, a reduction of 20% of its fixed costs. Under pressure from the government, the brand has waived compulsory redundancies. The closure of certain sites remains, however, an option on the table: “it is up to Renault to decide with the trade unions. I let the social dialogue is put in place, just to comment on Agnès Pannier-Runacher. Renault is at the edge of the abyss, we may be in denial or when we look at how to give a future to employees”.

A stated priority to employment, which also applies to Amazon, so that members of parliament have tabled a proposal for legislation to establish a two-year moratorium on the establishment of warehouses related to trade online. “For the moment, I don’t have clarity on this issue, I don’t know if a warehouse would destroy more jobs than it would create. I’m waiting for a note, Monday, that makes the point on this topic,” says Agnès Pannier-Runacher, pointing out that Amazon might choose to settle in a neighbouring country if France was denied him. “The question is: is it creates jobs, yes or no?”
