French People to Do Financial Penance in Stabilizing of Franc
Paris reports that holders of French government and city bonds will shoulder a substantial loss to stabilize the franc if revalorization proceeds. Officials cite a permanent shrinkage in paper franc purchasing power, with estimates of 60 to 100 billion francs in additional contributions and a value drop to about 25 centimes per gold franc. The reform aims to raise exchange values toward 1.5 per pound and 1.4 per dollar, but peasants and retired workers face the largest impact while bonds may fall sharply in real terms.
