2011: the good and bad increases ...

January 1 is generally synonymous with the rise, some are quite pleasant, others less so ...

Among the increases are rather good news note the increase in the minimum wage (which will raise the hourly minimum wage gross of 8.86 € to 9 €), family allowances and the RSA.

The problem is that these increases are very low since they are 1.6% (height of the official inflation but not real). As shown in the INSEE 2010 inflation was strong in important areas of energy + 11%, fuel prices by 12.4% and liquid fuels of 24.6% as higher prices for fresh products + 6.5% ... Now look

increases announced at January 1, 2011 and which will severely impacting household budgets.

The French know an explosion in the cost of car insurance (about 4%) but also the insurance "home" which could be even more consistent (between 3.5% to 8% depending on the insurer) , an increase of the electricity bill (+3% to pay for it seems renewable energy like wind and solar), an increase of their mutual (8 to 10% depending on insurance) after the plan rigor of the State reduce its reimbursement of approximately EUR 2.5 billion and nearly 500 million euros will be borne by households.

Note also raising taxes through the abolition of certain tax provisions that had the middle class and lower-income families. Finally, the offers triple play (Internet + TV + pack phone) will have their VAT rate from 5.5% to 19.6% with a monthly increase of the subscription of around 3 €.

And on Jan. 15, will be around the station to announce the increases.

As seen, it's time to sober since 2011 does not start so well next portfolio !
