France announces a €710 million package of measures to help households and businesses facing higher energy costs linked to the war in Iran. Bloomberg and France 24 report that French officials present the support as targeted assistance to limit the impact of the energy crisis while maintaining pressure on public finances. The measures include extending existing support schemes for sectors affected by energy prices, such as fishing, farming, and construction. France 24 also reports a new bonus for taxi drivers aimed at encouraging a switch to electric vehicles. Both outlets frame the aid as part of the government’s broader effort to cushion economic strain. France 24 adds that Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu rules out broad-based options such as blanket subsidies or fuel tax cuts, citing France’s ongoing efforts to reduce its debt and deficit. The package is described as new government action, with Budget Minister David Amiel pledging the €710 million amount. The overall approach combines sector-specific extensions with incentives for transport electrification, rather than economy-wide price support.
