Insurance companies in France are facing projected costs of up to 1.2 billion euros following riots that affected at least 3,000 businesses on October 17 and 18. Shops in major urban centers like Paris, Marseille, and Lille suffered looting and damage, with police struggling to contain the crowds. Industry analysts highlight that these losses significantly surpass those recorded during the 2023 unrest. The government has responded by arranging for zero-interest loans of up to 50,000 euros for affected shopkeepers. Additionally, ministers have engaged with online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, and Vinted to tackle the sale of stolen goods, demanding that platforms identify suspicious listings and cooperate with ongoing investigations.
