Caisse des Dépôts head sees no benefit in merging Livret A and LDDS savings accounts

The head of Caisse des Dépôts, Olivier Sichel, stated he sees no benefit in merging the Livret A and LDDS savings accounts. This reaction follows a report from the Conseil des prélèvements obligatoires suggesting harmonization of their deposit ceilings and taxing excess amounts. Caisse des Dépôts manages a significant portion of these savings. Sichel expressed surprise at the proposals, noting that Caisse des Dépôts was not consulted on the report's recommendations.
