It is a kind of Green Booklet, dedicated to the financing of low-carbon projects. Bruno Le Maire announced Monday the creation of a "future climate savings plan" for miners. "The industry requires a lot of capital. There is public capital (...) but private savings must also be mobilized, "said the Minister of Economy and Finance, during an interview with BFM TV / RMC. "We want young people's savings to be mobilized for this, so we will create a climate savings plan that can be opened by parents (...) from the birth of their child," he added.

This savings plan, whose remuneration will be "higher than that of the Livret A", will benefit from a guaranteed capital and "exceptional tax conditions: zero tax and zero contributions", he detailed. It can be distributed by banks and insurance companies.

Same ceiling as the Livret A

The ceiling will also be aligned with that of the Livret A, or about 23,000 euros, said the Ministry of the Economy, adding that the annual collection could reach one billion euros "at its full potential".

To be able to finance long-term projects, it will not be possible to make withdrawals before the majority of the holder, except accident of life. The allocation of funds will be controlled by the Caisse des dépôts, according to Bruno Le Maire.
