For the Minister of the Economy, the “Macron bonus” was “effective”.

In total, more than 4 million people have benefited from this exceptional premium exempt from taxes and contributions.

It was introduced to reward employees present at work during confinement.

Up to 2,000 euros

It is "purchasing power given back" to employees, said Bruno Le Maire on Monday.

"At the end of July, this bonus concerned 4.3 million beneficiaries and it represented 2.05 billion euros", specified the Minister before the Finance Committee of the National Assembly.

As early as March, the government encouraged companies to pay the “Macron bonus” to their employees.

It can be paid until the end of the year and its amount can reach 2,000 euros for companies with a profit-sharing agreement.
