Prospects for the recovery of retirement savings in France and worldwide 2021
When surveyed in early 2021, more than a year after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the French were more pessimistic than the rest of the countries in which the survey was conducted regarding the time it would take for their retirement savings balance to return to its pre-pandemic level. Just over half (55 percent) thought it would take them one year or less, compared to nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of people in the rest of the countries surveyed.
