Question 14989 — building and public works

Summary

Ms. Florence Joubert draws the attention of the Minister of Small and Medium Enterprises, Commerce, Crafts, Tourism and Purchasing Power to the extremely worrying situation currently experienced by artisanal construction and public works businesses. While this sector is barely emerging from several years of economic slowdown, the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East are causing a new surge in costs which seriously weaken businesses. In fact, 92% of companies in the sector say they are experiencing the rise in fuel prices (the price of GNR has increased by almost 60% in one month) and 70% of them have received notifications of increases in the price of materials. In a context where the majority of contracts are concluded at a fixed price, these increases result in an immediate erosion of margins, a deterioration of cash flow and, for certain local businesses, a questioning of their sustainability. According to estimates, around 50% of companies are already seeing a direct impact on their business. Thus, she asks him if he plans to immediately initiate a plan to safeguard VSEs in the construction industry, which would be structured around concrete measures including the application of a VAT rate of 5.5% on all renovation work, the simplification of access to energy renovation market or the implementation of compensatory measures on professional fuels.
