Disappointment for retirees. On Wednesday, November 27, deputies and senators reached a compromise on the Social Security financing bill.

And at most, 1.6% for those who earn less than 1,500 euros gross per month.

This poor performance is partly explained by the mixed results of French luxury giants and the rise in French political risk. Should investors expect a rebound or a crash? Nicolas Gallant does update on the prospects of the CAC 40.

Result: real estate sees its prices drop. The price per square meter in Paris hovered around 9,500 euros in the third quarter of 2024, down 5.5% year-on-year. If this drop affects all districts, in certain neighborhoods the fall in prices is particularly spectacular.

Capital reveals who, among the major brands Boulanger, Darty and Fnac, prefer to get good deals.
