The savings to be made in 2025 will be “at least 20 billion euros”. This is more than the 12 billion envisaged so far.
The 20 billion will relate next year to both the State and Social Security. “We already know that the public deficit target of 4.9% – in 2023 – will be significantly exceeded,” Thomas Cazenave confirmed. He stressed that the savings of 2024 "are not an austerity cure" for the French.
