The drop in the price of diesel is the big promise of November 1st. On site, it's 21 cents less per liter. Sophie Taillade waited until Sunday to come and help herself.

“I needed to refuel, I waited on purpose for it to drop, because indeed, it’s relatively expensive, so yes, I came specially this morning for that,” she confides. “It will allow you to pay less attention during everyday shopping, but actually have fun,” adds another customer. A real relief for the wallet, even if the price is still considered too high.

“It’s still much too expensive,” said a motorist. “It would have to come down to normal prices, around 1.50 euros. “The other good news from November 1 concerns supplementary pensions.

After two years of freezing, due to lack of agreement between social partners, they are increased by 1.4% from today. For Jacqueline Aubry, retired trader, the account is not really there. “It’s good but it’s not enough today.

I wonder how people who are there all year, all day, I don't know how they manage to pay", adds another woman. Finally, the new rules on small bank overdrafts. From November 20, before granting them, banks will have to systematically check the solvency of their customers.
