Because of the galloping inflation which undermines the purchasing power of the French, a city in the North of France introduces the inflation check of 100 euros. Discover in this article the information necessary to be able to receive this boost.
How far will this crisis go with an inflation rate of 7.2% last January?
The crisis situation persists in France because of inflation which continues to climb. All areas are affected by the price increase.
Indeed, according to INSEE figures, in one year, the rate of inflation rose from 1.5% to 6.8%. A percentage not observed for several years. Moreover, the situation has become more worrying since at the beginning of the year 2023, its rate reached a record with 7.2%. According to the French media, the existence of a red march is also to be deplored and accompanied by the increase in several food products.
In this sense, traders have taken their share of responsibility by introducing anti-inflation baskets. They include food products at cost price for 1 or 2 euros.
This leads to a reduction in purchasing power. Faced with the worrying situation, the government manages to introduce a panoply of aid to limit the damage caused by high inflation.
Inflation check of 100 euros for residents of northern France
To cope with inflation, the government also pays out food vouchers or energy vouchers. Moreover, they are intended for only some of the most modest households. In addition, they are subject to eligibility conditions.
However, these aids are far from enough to guarantee a descent life for French households. In this direction, the leaders in a city in the North of France proposed an inflation check of 100 euros for its inhabitants.
According to the confidences of the mayor of the city, Dominique Savary, all the inhabitants are entitled to this boost last week. The inhabitants of Trith-Saint-Léger received two checks for 50 euros each. These aids can be used for the payment of energy or fuel bills.
An envelope of 240,000 euros
This inflation check of 185 euros is valid in stores that accept service vouchers. Moreover, this initiative has made many happy since they can pay for gas, fuel oil and pellets with it.
Moreover, to be able to provide this aid, the municipality would be forced to find investors. Indeed, it took 240,000 euros to carry out this project and help 2,420 households.
