The popular savings account (LEP), reserved for French people with modest incomes, has also seen its collection jump in recent months. The number of LEPs increased from 8.2 million to 9.6 million between November 2022 and March last year.
18 million French people now meet the income criteria of the LEP (21,893 euros per year for a single person, 32,818 euros for a couple) "I invite the banks to continue this progress," said François Villeroy de Galhau.
