Question 7453 — social security

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Florquin draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the seriously degraded budgetary trajectory of social security, recently described as “out of control” by the Court of Auditors in its report made public on May 26, 2025. This report shows a deficit of 15.3 billion euros in 2024, an increase of almost 5 billion compared to initial forecasts. and warns of a persistent and structural drift, mainly concentrated on the disease branch (responsible for 90% of the deficit). It also reveals that reductions in employer contributions have led to a net loss of revenue of 5.5 billion euros for social security in 2024, due to increasingly partial compensation by the State. Furthermore, the social debt is expected to exceed 180 billion euros in 2028, placing the French social protection model in a situation of increasing dependence on financial markets and exposure to a possible liquidity crisis in the short term. The MP therefore questions the persistent absence of concrete structural recovery measures and the budgetary prioritization of the Government, which continues to support costly measures with no measurable return on employment, even though the fight against social fraud, although strengthened, still falls far short of the challenges. In such a context, he asks whether the Government intends to initiate, without delay, a structural reform of social security guaranteeing both the sustainability of public finances and the quality of care.
