French PEA and PEA‑PME reforms

Overview

The first snapshot outlines the basic framework of France’s Plan d’épargne en actions (PEA), noting that individuals may hold only one classic PEA and describing the tax benefits that accrue after five years, as well as the complementary PEA PME‑ETI option for small‑ and mid‑cap investments and special provisions for couples and young adults.

The later snapshot reports recent regulatory changes that expanded the PEA‑PME scheme: the 2019 PACTE law merged PEA caps to a €225,000 ceiling and added crowdfunding‑financing, while a 2024 reform raised the eligibility size limit to companies with market capitalisation under €2 billion and removed other hurdles. It also notes Saxo Bank’s launch of a free “PEA Academy” aimed at improving financial literacy among French investors amid rising first‑time market participation.

Together, the snapshots show a progression from a static description of PEA rules to an active effort to broaden eligibility and support investor education.
