The French government will continue subsidising electricity bills into 2025 as prices suffer from Russia's invasion of Ukraine and part of the country's nuclear reactor fleet remaining offline, the finance minister said Friday.
With bills still "very high" compared to late 2021, "I'm giving us two years to end" electricity subsidies by early 2025, Bruno Le Maire told French broadcaster LCI - a day after vowing to slash France's debt and deficits with cuts to public spending.
