After our zooms on agriculture and transport, it's time for the economy.
In the locomotive region of the country, which has suffered the full brunt of the health crisis, the revival of activity is a crucial issue.
We asked the six main candidates in the regional elections for their program in terms of economic recovery for Ile-de-France.

Clémentine Autain (LFI-PCF): "Fund 30,000 solidarity jobs"
“The region must stop the destruction of jobs.
By extending the Resilience fund, we will be alongside artisans, traders and micro-businesses.
We will put an end to regional aid for the large CAC 40 groups which have sufficient equity to resist.
The revival must be that of the social and ecological bifurcation.
We will make aid conditional on employment, environment and gender equality objectives.
We will actively support the social and solidarity economy.
We will finance 30,000 solidarity jobs intended for people with little qualifications for personal assistance, educational support and the maintenance of green spaces.

Julien Bayou (EELV): "200,000 jobs before the end of the mandate"
“Our priority is to get the economy back on track, reconciling a climate emergency and economic imperatives.
Now is the right time to relocate our economy and truly engage in ecological transition.
I want to combine a Green New Deal and a Small Business Act for Ile-de-France.
By reallocating economic subsidies and organizing public procurement especially for local SMEs and the social and solidarity economy, we can create a fabulous breeding ground for employment.
The Green New Deal means 200,000 jobs before the end of the mandate.
For the environment and the strengthening of human links, I want to create 30,000 springboard jobs in associations, public services and cooperatives.

Laurent Saint-Martin (LREM): "Create a popular savings fund"
"We must relaunch production, everywhere damaged by the Covid-19 crisis, recreate wealth and respond to the challenge of ecological transition.
I will create a popular savings fund that will allow Ile-de-France residents to participate in the economic recovery of Ile-de-France by helping craftsmen, businesses and traders in Ile-de-France.
It is about regional economic patriotism.
This fund will participate in the development and relocation of investments and industrial jobs.
In addition, I will reduce the region's payment deadlines from 30 to 15 days for its SME suppliers, who need visibility, and I will reduce payment delays to zero, which still undermine businesses in the Ile-de-France region.

“We are going to erase the debt of the 7,000 VSEs and SMEs beneficiaries of the Resilience fund who are facing a wall of debt and unable to overcome it. We are also putting out a green check of 1,500 euros to accelerate the ecological transformation of SMEs and encourage all virtuous practices. We offer 30 economic recovery zones with increased funding in rural districts and territories weakened by the crisis. Finally, we will create a regional strategic fund endowed with 200 million euros to help our small and medium-sized enterprises to weather the turbulence and protect their jobs by placing us in the blind spots of the State. Objective: to acquire a stake in 150 companies in sectors in great difficulty: automotive, culture, aeronautics, hotels, tourism, etc. ”
