Pierre Coppey, president of Vinci Autoroutes: “There are no superprofits”

For several weeks, pressure has been increasing on motorway concession companies, which raised their prices by 4.75% on February 1. A 2021 report from the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), unearthed from the drawers of the Ministry of the Economy by Le Canard enchaîné, set fire to the powder. Its authors estimate that the Vinci, Eiffage and other Abertis generate a profitability of around 12%, much higher than the estimate made during the privatization.
