France Gross Savings
Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS
France's gross savings was 21.63% in 2025, ranked 84th globally. This represents a 0.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1975–2025.
Overview
France's gross savings stood at 21.63% in 2025, a rise of +0.19% from 2024. The IMF projects 21.63% by 2025. France ranked 84th globally.
France’s gross savings ratio has slipped from its all‑time peak of 26.20 percent in 1975 to an all‑time trough of 20.68 percent in 1985, and the indicator now stands at 21.63 percent in 2025, placing the country 84th in the world. Over the 51‑year series the downward drift reflects a persistent shift toward consumption‑financed growth, a pattern also observed in peer economies such as Canada, whose 2025 savings ratio of 21.80 percent is marginally higher, and Chile, at 21.51 percent. The modest recovery from the 1980s low suggests that recent policy measures aimed at boosting household and corporate savings have had limited effect, leaving France still below the levels recorded during the post‑oil‑crisis boom. Continued demographic ageing and fiscal pressures could restrain further improvement, but a sustained increase in retirement‑fund contributions and incentives for private capital formation could reverse the modest decline and lift the savings ratio in the coming decade.
