The workers’ fuel allowance will benefit half of French households, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced in an interview with the newspaper Les Echos published on Friday.
This worker fuel allowance will benefit households in the top five income deciles, or half of all households, she said. Recalling that this more targeted aid will be in place from 1 January, the Prime Minister specified that eligible households will receive a payment from the beginning of the year.
