High cost of living, purchasing power, youth: what solutions in an over-indebted country?
Every Saturday, two economists debate topics that mark economic and social news.
The rating agency Moody's refrained from any rating action on French debt on Friday October 23, effectively maintaining its assessment at Aa3 with a negative outlook. She published a press release explaining that it was not "a credit action", seeming to wait for the situation to become clearer in France before commenting further. Also read A warning "for those who play havoc", reacts the Minister of the Economy Roland Lescure after the maintenance of France's rating by the Moody's agency. This episode comes in the midst of social unrest and at a time when new budgetary priorities must be defined to meet expectations.
Between demands against the high cost of living and those of young people, is the State trapped in austerity to redeploy its resources towards the most urgent? To discuss it, Emmanuel Cugny and Benjamin Recouvreur receive El Mouhoub Mouhoud, president of the University of Paris Sciences et Lettres; and Jean-Hervé Lorenzi, founding president of the Aix-en-Provence Economic Meetings.
