  10% in the hands of employees in France

The objective of 10% to be held by employee shareholders in France by 2030 was launched last month in Paris by the French Federation of Employee Shareholders Associations (FAS). This may be compared with 4 to 6% held now in large French companies (depending on definitions), and to some 10% in the USA. President Macron and the French Government will back this objective, seeing  employee share ownership as a key factor for the revival of a population of individual investors. After eight years of negative policies under Presidents Sarkozy and François Hollande, this is a very good signal for employee share ownership in Europe. France is back !
