Strangled by inflation, the French no longer have the assurance of eating enough. To respond to this scourge, Carrefour and CNP Assurances are launching insurance which should allow you to continue shopping in the event of “a sudden loss of purchasing power”. A “purchasing power guarantee”, say the two partners.
“Faced with soaring prices for food and basic necessities, more and more French people are having difficulty paying their bills, particularly in the event of unforeseen events leading to a loss or drop in their income,” notes Carrefour in its press release. To ensure your future meals, you can subscribe to different plans.
An “inflation booster”
Thus, “Course Protect” allows you to obtain vouchers in the amount of 75 to 150 euros in the event of loss of employment or incapacity to work. For a subscription of 2.90 euros per month to 3.90 euros per month. In the event of severe disability, the compensation increases to 500 euros. Other formulas are broader but also more expensive. Thus, “Budget Protect” at 5.90 euros or 8.90 euros per month promises 300 or 500 euros in the event of job loss or incapacity.
An “inflation booster” also allows “the amount of compensation received by the customer to be adjusted upwards within the limit of 10% if inflation increases between the year of subscription and that of the occurrence of the hard blow », specifies the food distribution giant Parisian.
