Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne says she wants to “accelerate” the implementation of the “France 2030” investment plan, so that 20 billion out of the 54 planned are committed by the end of 2023. “It is more important than ever to accelerate the implementation” of the “France 2030” plan, noted the Prime Minister on Thursday in an interview with Les

Echos

.

Announced by Emmanuel Macron at the end of 2021, this plan aims to finance up to 54 billion euros over five years for the country's major ecological and economic transitions.

Rigorous evaluation processes

“At the end of September, 8.5 billion euros had been committed.

We are aiming for 10 billion euros at the end of the year and 20 billion euros at the end of 2023”, developed Elisabeth Borne.

The head of government specifies that she will ensure “the efficiency of the money committed by remaining selective, and by implementing rigorous evaluation processes”.

Elisabeth Borne must take stock of “France 2030” on Friday by bringing together the committee dedicated to Matignon.

The government intends in particular to "increase the risk premium to stimulate innovation", and will devote 500 million euros to increase from 250 technological start-ups to 500 per year "created by researchers from our research organizations or our universities. “, explains Ms. Borne.

300 million euros will also go “to support new training in the sectors of the future”.

Emmanuel Macron will travel to Washington at the end of November

The massive investment plan of the United States (Inflation Reduction Act, IRA), likely to distort competition, is an “important subject of concern” that France intends “to bring to European level”, she believes.

And President Emmanuel Macron will raise this issue during his state visit to Washington at the end of November.

"Given the nature of the support and their very massive nature, this plan does not respect the rules of the WTO", according to the Prime Minister.

It could “cause (France) to lose 10 billion euros of investment in France and 10,000 potential job creations”.

"Europe cannot be the only place where there is no ''Buy European Act'' (aimed at entrusting markets to European companies, editor's note), we would like a political and industrial debate at the European and international scale,” she says.
