Financial decision-maker sentiment: France

Almost all financial decision makers in France view the current economy as neutral or weak. Additionally, over half view their current financial situation as weak or somewhat weak, and almost all expect it to remain the same or worsen in the next three months. Less than half of consumers are concerned or somewhat concerned about their job security and a similar amount have four months or fewer in savings to live off. Consumers have decreased usage across all payment vehicles, especially in-person methods like cash. Though sentiment is net negative, most consumers feel banks are performing per their expectations, and many would like them to increase the contactless payment limit.
