Where does the money go?
Move a slider, watch the flows between households, firms, banks, the State and the rest of the world — and what each reservoir gains or loses. Base year: France 2025, amounts in bn EUR.

Prosperity score
– / 10| Component | Weight | Mark / 10 |
|---|
| Households by decile | Balance | Mark / 10 |
|---|
10 means every household decile, the State, local governments, social security, firms and banks are in surplus or at zero, France does not borrow from the rest of the world, and household income and private wages are not below the base year. A household decile in deficit loses marks linearly, down to 0 for a borrowing need of 50 % of its resources; any other sector, down to 0 at 5 % of GDP. The score is the raw weighted mark, not rounded. Decile balances: disposable income by decile (INSEE, distributed national accounts 2023) and saving rate of each quintile (INSEE Focus 338, 2022).
Balance by reservoir
| Reservoir | Opening | In | Out | Balance | vs. base | Financing |
|---|
Opening + In − Out = Balance. Opening is what the diagram does not itemise: the published net lending of the base year minus its itemised flows (mixed income, property income, rents…); it stays fixed in a simulation. In and Out exclude financing flows. Balance in the base year is the published net lending (+) or borrowing (−). Financing (savings placed, debt issued, securities) is the counterpart of the balance and stays outside the identity. "n.v.": no published balance for this reservoir.
Year by year
| Year | Score | State deficit | State debt | Households | Firms | Closure residual |
|---|
Amounts marked ≈ are orders of magnitude derived from published aggregates; dashed flows have no published amount and stay at their observed level. The closure residual is the sum of all internal balances plus the external balance: it is shown, never forced to zero.
