The subprime crisis really began in 2007, before turning into global financial turmoil during 2008 and triggering recession on a scale unprecedented since the end of the Second World War. These events had major repercussions on the dynamic of incomes for different categories: businesses, households and, of course, public administrations. Between 2007 and 2017, household gross disposable income certainly continued to grow quite regularly but much less quickly than before the crisis: it grew nearly 17% in nominal terms (instead of 51% over the previous decade) and 8% in real terms (instead of 30% over the previous decade). Calculated by unit of consumption, purchasing power practically didn't rise (+0.7%) in ten years. The shock was more temporary for non-financial companies. Their gross savings stagnated between 2007 and 2010, before returning to growth comparable to pre-crisis levels: they stabilised in 2017 at a little more than €60 bn above their pre-crisis levels, an increase of 30% compared to 2007. This resilience contrasts with the situation of public administrations: their gross savings fell by €76 bn between 2007 and 2009, and were even negative from 2009 to 2011. It was only in 2017 that they returned to pre-crisis levels. The budgetary policy actually led to postponing rebalancing public finances, firstly by avoiding a drop in household incomes, then by accelerating the improvement in company accounts.
