Will the government dip into oil “superprofits” again in 2024? The question is openly asked. Bruno Le Maire recognized this on Thursday, presenting the main axes of the draft budget for 2024: “We have a question about the amount of refining margins […] We will take all necessary decisions to avoid excessive profits.”
This Friday morning, on France Info, the Budget Minister was even more explicit. “We included a solidarity contribution from the sector in the 2023 budget,” explained Thomas Cazenave. We already did it. We are capable of doing it […] We are not excluding any response, this could be one of them.”
