2016- n° 143In May 2016, consumer prices decreased by 0.1% year-on-year Consumer price index - provisional results - May 2016
In May 2016, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is set to rise by 0.4% month-on-month, more than in May 2015 (+0.2%). This slight increase should result primarily from a price upturn in food; especially in fresh products; and a strengthening in petroleum products prices for the third month in a row. Prices of other goods and services are likely to be unchanged.

Prices of other goods and services are likely to be unchanged.
Year-on-year, consumer prices should decline by 0.1% in May 2016. This decline should arise mainly from a sharp fall in energy prices and, to a lesser extent, to the decrease in prices of manufactured products. Less pronounced than in April (-0.2%), it includes a slight positive effect due to the new methodology regarding fresh foodstuffs.
In May 2016, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices is set to grow by 0.3% over the month. Year-on-year, it should be stable after a slight decrease during the three previous months (−0.1%).
Warning: These provisional results are only preliminary data. Accordingly, they should not be used for contractual revaluations. The indixes published here are based on a limited set of price observations and from estimates of some rates of change for fares which are not yet available. The complete results will be published on 15 June 2016.
