02:11quarter of this year, an increase of 1.8% compared to the first quarter.
02:17According to a quarterly report of the Authority of Services and Financial Markets, this increase
02:22is due to the developments observed on the financial markets and net subscriptions that
02:27have reached 1.5 billion euros between early April and the end of June.

02:39month of June, a share of the market of 40%.

02:52In the rest of Europe, the Italian government plans to bring back the public deficit as early as 2026,
02:59below the 3% ceiling of the GDP set by the Pacte de Stabilité.
03:04This commitment is part of the plan for the restructuring of public accounts that Italy
03:09must soon address to the European Commission.
03:12The goal of deficit is slightly more ambitious than the 3% ratio of the GDP envisaged as target
03:18for 2026, during the latest government forecasts published in April.
03:24For 2024, Rome had indicated that it wanted to reduce its deficit to 4.3% of the GDP.
03:31Aimed at a European procedure for excessive deficits, as in other Member States, Italy
03:37will have to explain in its plan of restructuring the way in which it intends to come back in the clouds.
03:44Direction now the United Kingdom.
03:46The British Ministry of the Interior has announced an investment of 75 million pounds
03:52sterling in favor of the commandment of the elite in charge of border security.

04:07the security of the British borders and dismantle the criminal gangs of passers-by,
04:12the ministry specifies.
04:14This investment, which redirects funds initially allocated to the controversial project
04:19of externalization of asylum applications to Rwanda, is designed to rely on a model
04:24of disturbance in favor of the gangs of passers-by.
04:28Announced at an operational summit to which the Prime Minister Keir Starmer took part
04:33in the seat of the British Agency for the Fight Against Criminality last week.
04:38Direction now Canada, where annual inflation has slowed and reached in August the goal
04:44of 2% set by the Central Bank at its lowest level since February 2021.
04:51This slowdown is partly attributable to a decrease in the price of gasoline,
04:55affirmed the Canadian Statistics Agency.
04:58This decreased by 5.1% in August after a slight increase of 1.9% in July.
05:05Despite the increase in demand associated with the purchase of clothing and shoes
05:09in view of the return to school, the prices of these consumer goods have also fallen
05:13by 0.6% compared to last August.
05:17According to the government agency, this is the first time since 1971 that a price drop
05:24is recorded in August.
