Halftone optimism this morning on the RTL set which received Bruno Le Maire.

In the midst of soaring energy and commodity prices, it was obvious that the Minister of the Economy was not bringing good news.

"Inflation as it is today, that is to say strong, will continue to increase until the end of 2022," he said, assuring that France was currently in the midst of “peak inflation”.

But for Bruno Le Maire, this increase will not last indefinitely.

The latter said he had “good hope” of a “return of inflation from the beginning of the year 2023”.

A drop made possible thanks to the European action plan which “diversified its energy supplies, found gas and oil elsewhere and reorganized the production chains”.

However, no illusion: France will not regain its pre-war level in Ukraine.

"We will keep inflation higher than what we were used to, because producing in France or in Europe is more expensive than importing, but it's better for the climate and our economic independence," he said. he concluded.
