Prices increased in all markets

Producer price indices in French industry

FRENCH MARKET: +0.6 % in January

In January, French producer prices in industry rose by 0.6 %, following a near-stability in December (-0.1 %), at a similar rate to October and November (+0.5 % and +0.4 %, respectively). Once again, this increase is mainly attributable to a rise in petroleum products prices.

Prices of refined petroleum products moved up

In January, prices of Brent crude (sourced from the North Sea) increased by 3.4 % in dollar terms, and by 5.2 % in euro terms due to the euro depreciation. Prices of refined petroleum products rose significantly: +9.5 % for unleaded premium gas, +4.2 % for diesel oil, and +4.7 % for heating oil.

Food prices were unchanged

Food prices were unchanged for a third straight month.

Preserved meat (-2.8 %) and preserved poultry meat (–1.5 %) prices fell, while chocolate and sugar confectionery prices increased significantly (+4.9 %) due to higher cocoa prices.

Prices of “other manufactured products” increased moderately

Prices of “other manufactured products” rose by 0.3 %, following two months of stability (-0.1 % in November, and 0.0 % in December). Prices of glass products (+1.1 %), cement and plaster products (+3.3 %) and articles of concrete (+2.1 %) moved up in January, following several months of stability.

FOREIGN MARKETS: + 0.6 % in January

Producer prices of French industrial products sold on foreign markets increased by 0.6 %, ending a period of relatively stable prices since April 2011. This movement is mainly attributable to a significant rise in petroleum products prices (+8.8 %), but textiles prices (+1.6 %) and pharmaceutical products prices (+1.7 %) also increased.

ALL MARKETS: +0.6 % in January

In all markets, producer prices of French industrial products increased by 0.6 % in January, 3.5 % year-over-year.

Import prices indices of industrial products : +1.2 % in January

Imported industrial products prices increased significantly in January (+1.2 %), following a slight decline in December (-0.2 %). This increase is mainly attributable to higher energy prices. The Euro depreciation against the US dollar was also a factor in this increase.
