After the collapse of 2020, this year the amount of the additional monthly payment is expected to reach 43.7 billion euros, over 360 million more than last December but still 1.2 billion below the pre-pandemic level. An additional injection that should generate a boost of 21 billion for purchases in the holiday period, about 2.7 billion more than in 2020.
