However, in France, optimism is waning, probably because of recent political uncertainties.\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p>In this context, consumer intentions remain strong, but prudence dominates: <strong>the savings rate remains high<\/strong>, well above pre-crisis levels.
