Question 15985 — civil servants and public agents

Summary

Mr. Jérôme End questions the Minister of Labor and Solidarity on the consequences for certain civil servants of the non-renewal of the individual guarantee of purchasing power (GIPA). Established by Decree No. 2008-539 of June 6, 2008, the individual purchasing power guarantee compensation results from the difference observed between the evolution of the gross index salary held by the agent over a reference period of four years and that of the consumer price index over the same period. This instrument aims to compensate for the loss of purchasing power of agents, if their remuneration has increased little over the last four years, in particular to cushion the effects of inflation. However, the Government decided not to renew it for 2024 and 2025, considering that the GIPA mainly benefited agents located at the top level of their grade, often at the end of their career and preferring to put in place structural measures aimed at all agents: revaluation of the value of the index point, allocation of additional increased index points, compensation increases, revision of certain index scales, etc. Under the effect of these measures, the Government declares in its response to a written question published on May 19, 2026 that “the average net salary of agents in constant euros in 2024 is an increase of 2.6% in the State civil service, 1.3% in the territorial civil service and 0.7% in the hospital civil service. Despite this, many civil servants, particularly in categories B and C, believe they have lost purchasing power with the non-payment of GIPA. The question of renewing GIPA in a targeted manner or considering other financial compensation must arise, at least for categories B and C, in particular for certain professions in tension requiring particularly significant mobilization and commitment and requiring numerous skills. For example, it is possible to cite the role of town hall secretary, which is extremely demanding and essential to the proper functioning of local authorities. He asks him if an assessment of the financial losses for civil servants could have been be carried out following the non-renewal of the GIPA and if it intends to take specific measures in favor of agents who have experienced a significant drop in their purchasing power and whose function pushes them to be particularly exposed and in demand on a daily basis, in the service of their fellow citizens.
