Towards the appearance of an “
anti-inflation pack
” on insurance.
Following a meeting between Bruno Le Maire and representatives of insurance and mutual insurance companies, commitments were made to "
support the purchasing power of the French
".
“
I have asked insurers to make efforts to limit the amount of insurance premiums for 2022 and 2023 as much as possible
”, explained the Minister of Economy and Finance, during a press briefing.
The companies have thus undertaken to “
contain the average amount of insurance premiums below the level of inflation
”, for these two years.
A “
significant effort
”, which aims to create an “
insurance shield
”, after the shield “
banking
" and that on energy.
Premiums could have jumped next year, driven by the multiplication of climatic phenomena such as fires, storms or floods, on the one hand, and by the rise in the cost of raw materials such as spare parts or tiles, a noted the boss of France insurers, Florence Lustman.
To date, “
more than six million people
” should thus be compensated this year, double that of a normal year.
But “
the insurance price index
”, calculated by INSEE, will remain below the overall level of inflation, also measured by an index, the insurers have accepted.
