2017- n° 115In April 2017, consumer prices increased by 1.2% year on year Consumer price index - provisional results - April 2017
Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should barely accelerate in April 2017 (+1.2% after +1.1% in March) according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This slight increase in year-on-year inflation should come from a smaller drop in manufactured product prices, partly offset by a slight deceleration in the prices of energy, food and services.

Over one month, consumer prices are set to come to a standstill (+0.1% after +0.6% in March). This sharp slowdown should be due to that of manufactured product prices, which is seasonal. The prices of petroleum products and food should continue to fall, but at a lesser rate than in the previous month. Services prices should accelerate a little, owing to transport services.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 1.4%, as in the two previous months. Over one month, it should slow down sharply to +0.1% after +0.7% in March.
Warning: These provisional results are only preliminary data. Accordingly, they should not be used for contractual revaluations. The indices 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 16 May 2017.
