France to keep curbing hikes in households’ energy costs

PARIS, Aug 28 — The French government plans to continue to work to curtail the effect of rising energy prices on households next year, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said in remarks published on Saturday.

Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire earlier on Saturday told French television channel BFM that increases in electricity prices next year would be limited. In the coming weeks the French government will have to decide whether to renew price caps on electricity and gas that expire at the end of the year, and whether to maintain a fuel rebate. These two measures have helped keep French inflation lower than many European peers but weigh heavily on public finances.
