Public opinion on the impact of containments on price increases in France 2021
In April 2021, nearly nine out of ten French people believed that the successive containments put in place in the country to fight the COVID-19 pandemic had resulted in an acceleration of price increases. While the rise in prices may be considered a good thing from the point of view of economists, the French do not all share this enthusiasm: nearly a third of them find their purchasing power rather low, and nearly half say they have seen it decrease. Moreover, the French do not seem to be particularly optimistic about the country's economic future.
