2018- n° 258In September 2018, consumer prices increased by 2.2% year on year Consumer price index - provisional results - September 2018
Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should barely slow down in September 2018: +2.2% after +2.3% in August, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. The slight decrease in inflation should come, on the one hand, from a slowdown in services and energy prices and, on the another hand, from a slightly larger drop in those of manufactured products. Contrariwise, lesser inflation should be mitigated by a marked acceleration in food prices, due to these in fresh food prices.

Over one month, consumer prices should edge down: −0.2% after +0.5% in August. This downturn should be due to these, seasonal, in the prices of some tourism-related services. Contrariwise, energy prices should rise over one month after a stability in August.
