The HICP is released according to Eurostat’s Release calendar.

The calendar is publically available and published at the end of the year for the full following year.

The national calendar is available on the Insee website

Each month, according to the planned schedule, the HICP and the national CPI are disseminated via https://www.insee.fr website in the form of a publication in the Informations rapides collection; this publication is also translated into English. The publication is embargoed until the official publication time, which is set at 8.45 a.m., as for the main economic indicators. Only journalists of the AFP (Agence France Presse) receive the embargoed information by email 30 minutes before the official publication time, i.e. at 8.15 a.m.

After the embargo has been lifted, all series of the index can be found in the Macro-economic Database on the INSEE website.

The CPI and HICP indices are disseminated up to level 4 of ECOICOP (5-digit code). The additional level (361 items), encoded to 6 digits, is specific to the annual publication of French consumer price indices. In addition, several indices for special groups of products used for short-term economic analysis, which are included in the Informations rapides, are also available in the macro-economic database.
