The French filled their Livrets A with 600 million euros in November, a rather honorable amount for the period, demonstrating their interest in this product, according to data published Wednesday by the Caisse des dépôts.
The Livret A account therefore experienced a rebound compared to October, when cash withdrawals were greater than deposits, which resulted in negative net inflows of around 1.1 billion euros.
A year ago at the same time, the population withdrew 90 million euros more than they had deposited.

Since the beginning of the year, the Livret A account has recorded net inflows of nearly 25.8 billion euros, i.e. a level close to the 26.4 billion recorded in 2020, an exceptional year in this respect, marked by the outbreak of Covid-19.
By way of comparison, the Livret A had garnered 15.17 billion euros in 2021 and 12.64 in 2019. The year 2022 will have been marked by two successive rate increases in February and August, the yield going from 0 .5% to 2% in a few months.
And it will continue: according to the Governor of the Banque de France, the rate will increase again next February, and in a “
significant
” way.
The yield on the Livret A could thus evolve towards 3%, or even a little beyond, in view of the latest inflation figures, on which the authorities are particularly concerned.

The Livret de développement durable et solidaire (LDDS), for its part, followed the same trend as the Livret A in November, with a net collection of 430 million euros.
Managed jointly by the Caisse des dépôts and the banking networks, the Livret A is mainly used to finance social housing, while the LDDS is dedicated to the social and solidarity economy as well as to energy savings in housing.
The outstanding amount of the two passbooks reached 500.5 billion euros, an increase of +6.8% over one year.
