The current situation for French economic and social institutions and their public operators is characterised by a fragile and uncertain economic context linked to inflation, energy costs and the post-COVID recovery. As a result, they must balance supporting growth and managing public debt.

This challenging national context is exacerbated by the resurgence of geopolitical tensions and the intensification of economic warfare. With the dream of happy globalisation now obsolete, economic and social choices are becoming even more challenging.

The combination of these factors means that French institutions must remain flexible and innovative to meet the needs of their population, while ensuring economic and social stability.

Issues & Challenges :

These changes involve :

  • Structural reform: to modernise the economy, improve competitiveness and promote ecological transition. This includes labour market reforms and measures to support companies facing difficulties.
  • Rethinking the sustainability of social protection: the French social protection system is under pressure, with debates over its long-term viability. Social institutions must adapt to demographic change and new forms of precariousness.
  • Promoting ecological transition: public operators are increasingly engaged in the transition to a sustainable economy, with initiatives to reduce carbon footprints and developing responsible practices.
  • Deploy digitisation: the digitisation of public services and economic institutions is underway, with efforts to improve accessibility and efficiency.
  • Retaining human resources: the attractiveness of public-sector jobs and talent recruitment are also crucial, particularly in sectors like healthcare and education.
