Contributions from insurers have only increased by 2.5%, defended the general manager of Ama Adrien Couret, another participant in the Bercy meeting and questioned on the subject by BFM Business.
Insurers and their professional federations, received Wednesday by the Minister of the Economy, identify few levers in their industry, also affected by inflation, to relieve the portfolio of the French. Complementary health especially have no room for maneuver, explains AFP Marie-Laure Dreyfuss, general delegate of the Technical Center for Provident Institutions (CTIP) and invited by Bruno Le Maire. She recalls that the sector has already paid a heavy price for the Covid-19 crisis and has still not regained balance.
But since another scourge has come to affect the French, that of inflation which reached 5.2% over one year in May, curbing household consumption. Insurers’ contributions only increased by 2.5%defended the general manager of Ama Adrien Couret, another participant in the Bercy meeting and questioned on the subject by BFM Business.
The leader, who does not rule out new increases by the end of the year, also highlighted the weight in the accounts of natural disaster insurers, taking as an example the severe weather in recent weeks in France.
Insurers are also being presented with rising bills, in particular the price of spare parts in the automobile. A godsend to return the ball to the government on this subject, called to further liberalize this market to limit the increase in contributions.
