The Livret A, a pillar of savings in France soon to be less attractive
This savings product, regulated by the State, offers unrivaled accessibility, allowing each resident, young or adult, to put money aside. In addition, it is possible to open this type of account for minors, who can access it from the age of 16.
The advantages of Livret A don't stop there. Not only is it easy to manage with deposit and withdrawal possibilities at any time without fees, but it also has a maximum envelope of 22,950 euros. However, for those looking to invest more, other savings options could be considered.
Worrying changes for Livret A holders
In 2025, a significant change in the Livret A interest rate is expected, directly affecting the finances of its users. After a period of freezing set at 3%, initiated in 2023 by the government in the face of an unstable economic climate, this measure had temporarily placed savers in an advantageous position with regard to inflation.
