Energy: increasing

Moreover, diesel oil consumption increased.
The evolutions of household consumption of goods in September and in October are scaled up by 0.1 point
The change of household consumption of goods is now estimated at +0.1% in September, instead of +0.0% estimated for the previous publication, and at -0.1% in October, instead of a -0.2% estimated for the previous publication
These revisions are mainly due to the integration of new information, notably regarding the expenditures on clothing and durable goods, the scaling up of energy indicators, as well as the updating of the seasonal adjustment coefficients.
