Household confidence in France at its lowest since June 2013
In October 2026, the household confidence indicator falls five points to 80, its lowest level since June 2013, and the savings climate also declines. The following day, INSEE reports that household morale also reaches its lowest level since June 2013. The institute explains this trend by inflation and rising interest rates, which weigh on the disposable income of a large share of French people.
