The IMF is concerned to see States extend aid instead of carrying out a "necessary" consolidation. "There may come a time when we might regret it," says the Director of the IMF.

The IMF has been insisting for several months that states gradually end the aid that had been put in place to support their economies during the pandemic. In France, in addition to the strengthening of the Egalim laws, and the reduction of various standards, the government announced emergency measures for some 400 million euros in total.
