#France will provide €450 million ($514 million) as the government extends targeted fuel aid to the end of the year and almost doubles the number of beneficiaries, with price surges sparked by global conflicts causing tensions in the country. An existing €100 payment for low-income drivers will be extended for three months until December, government spokeswoman Maud Bregeon said during a news conference Tuesday. The scheme is being expanded, to 5.5 million beneficiaries from the current 3 million, she said. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
