M. Laurent Garcia attire l'attention de M. le ministre de l'économie et des finances sur l'utilisation des fonds placés sur le livret de développement durable et solidaire (LDDS). La loi du 9 décembre 2016 relative à la transparence, à la lutte contre la corruption et à la modernisation de la vie économique (dite Sapin 2) visait déjà à mieux orienter les encours de ce livret d'épargne réglementé en transformant le LDD en LDDS. Or, si près de 10 milliards d'euros de prêts ont été dédiés à la transition énergétique ces quatre dernières années, c'est néanmoins trop peu au regard de la collecte de ce livret qui dépasse les 100 milliards d'euros. À l'occasion du Climate finance day de décembre 2017, prenant acte de l'incohérence de cette situation, le ministre de l'économie et des finances a annoncé que les fonds collectés du LDDS, centralisés à la Caisse des dépôts, devraient être désormais entièrement mobilisés pour financer des projets « verts ». En 2018, la Caisse des dépôts a déclaré avoir tenu cet engagement, à savoir : 1 euro placé sur le LDDS = 1 euro pour un projet « vert ». L'intégralité du montant net collecté avec le LDDS, soit 2 milliards d'euros, a ainsi permis de financer 2,1 milliards d'euros de prêts pour des projets favorisant la transition énergétique et écologique - le complément d'investissement provenant d'autres ressources, essentiellement le livret A et le livret d'épargne populaire. Cette annonce représente une avancée certaine puisque la majorité de l'encours du LDDS, 60 % environ, est centralisée auprès du fonds d'épargne de la Caisse des dépôts. Les encours non centralisés du LDDS, les 40 % restants, sont gérés directement par les banques. Elles doivent toutefois les affecter « au financement des besoins de trésorerie et d'investissement » des PME, ou au « financement de travaux d'économies d'énergie dans les bâtiments anciens ». Néanmoins, à l'heure actuelle, les épargnants français qui ont placé un total de 110 milliards d'euros sur ces livrets n'ont pas vraiment de visibilité sur les projets et les entreprises qu'ils contribuent à financer, et ceux qui ont fait le choix d'un placement sur le livret de développement durable et solidaire, souhaitent pour la plupart véritablement une garantie de placement « vert ». Or, jusqu'en 2018, seuls 10 % de ces fonds ont été dédiés à la transition énergétique et écologique. Il lui demande en conséquence si des mesures sont envisagées pour améliorer encore davantage ce dispositif, d'autant que le décret encadrant le fléchage « solidaire » de cette épargne se fait toujours attendre.
