In the fall of 2019, the NRC predicted a deficit of 4.2 billion euros. It has been revised upwards due to the impact of the epidemic.

The Covid-19 crisis has dug a little deeper into the accounts of the pension system. The deficit of the French pension system should approach 30 billion euros in 2020, according to a provisional estimate published on Friday by the Council for the Guidance of Pensions (COR).

This sharp decline is explained by the decline in income, the hex of “entire parts of the economy” that “shut down” in recent weeks , says the agency in charge of evaluation and subsequent withdrawals.

These results, based on data available as of June 11, 2020, “are likely to be further significantly revised,” however, the council’s withdrawal guidance said.
