Overview

  • The initiative requires a minimum investment of 500 euros, with funds locked for at least five years to encourage long-term economic contributions.
  • The product will be voluntary, consist of private funds, and be managed through major banking and insurance networks.
  • Éric Lombard, Minister of the Economy, emphasized the need for European defense autonomy due to concerns over the reliability of U.S. security guarantees.
