Total Distributed 19 Billion Euros In Profits

BFM Radio Paris 15d10d Impact 8

Total reportedly made at least one billion in profits through oil speculation. This figure represents an increase of more than $1 billion compared to the previous year. The profit rise is attributed in part to the crisis in the Middle East and increasing crude oil prices. The Union Française des industries pétrolières reported that refiners have quadrupled their margins compared to distributors since the start of the conflict. The situation has resulted in economic consequences, including costs of over 6 million for gasoline. In March alone, 2.5 million euros in super profits were realized. TotalEnergies announced profits of 5 billion euros for the first quarter. Total has published spectacular first-quarter results. The broadcaster noted that despite being outside active combat zones, certain areas have been evacuated due to regular Israeli military strikes.

This follows distributions of 15 billion euros and 14 billion euros in previous years. The commentator stated that if the company had remained nationalized, the state treasury would have received an additional 30 billion euros. Over a 10-year period, this could have resulted in 100 billion euros for the state.
