In May 2009, the consumer price index for all households in the whole of France rose by 0.2% (+0.5% in May 2008). In one year, it decreased by 0.3%. The preceding year-on-year decrease was back in 1957. The core inflation was up 0.1% (+1.6% year-on-year). The general price index edged up in May due to the seasonnal rise in prices of other services and fresh products, and also of energy. The increase of the prices of other manufactures was the consequence of the end of the rebates; health and communication services edged up too. For seasonal reason, prices of the district heating decreased. Prices of foodstuffs except fresh products, and of clothing and footwear were stable.
