Livret A Interest Rate Expected to Drop to 2.5% in February
The reduction follows a decline in inflation and will be finalized by mid-January, affecting millions of French savers.
- The Livret A interest rate, currently at 3%, is anticipated to decrease to 2.5% on February 1, 2025.
- The rate adjustment is influenced by a formula based on recent inflation trends and interbank exchange rates.
