SAVINGS - This is the big day for the release of employee savings. From July 1 until the end of December, the French will be able to recover up to 20,000 euros, paid by their companies under the participation and sharing. This measure was announced in late March by Francois Hollande, in order to stimulate consumption. Until now we had to wait at least five years before receiving the money.
