SOL Project

SOL Project

The SOL Project is an innovative French complementary currency designed to promote a "solidarity economy". The project is being financed by the European Commission and pilot tested in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Ile-de-France and Bretagne.

SOL was initiated by Patrick Viveret and Dominique Picard and received praise from then president Jacques Chirac.
