France to Announce Targeted Measures to Address Energy Prices, Minister Says

PARIS, March 26 (Reuters) - France will announce targeted measures to address energy price spikes in the coming days, French finance minister Roland Lescure said on Thursday, amid a surge in energy costs due to the Iran war.

The measures will be aimed at helping trucking companies and fisheries that are struggling to pay bills, he said.

"In the next few days we will be able to announce new measures," Lescure said in an interview with French broadcaster RTL.

"We have already taken steps for those we are looking at what we call high-mileage drivers, but we will do so again in a targeted manner," he added.
