2018- n° 53In February 2018, consumer prices increased by 1.2% year on year Consumer price index - provisional results - February 2018
Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should hardly slow down in February 2018: +1.2% after +1.3% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of February 2018. This slowdown in the year-on-year inflation should result from a lesser rise in prices of services, food and tobacco. The “manufactured product” prices should slightly rise and those of energy should increase at the same pace as in the previous month.

The “manufactured product” prices should slightly rise and those of energy should increase at the same pace as in the previous month.
Over one month, consumer prices should be unchanged after a downturn of 0.1% in January. Food prices should edge down, in the wake of fresh product prices. Those of “manufactured product” should decrease again, but less markedly than in January. Services prices should slow down. Lastly, energy prices should be stable, the decrease in petroleum product prices being offset by a rise in gas and electricity prices.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should slow down in February (+1.3%) after an acceleration in the previous month (+1.5% after +1.2% in December). Over one month, it should be stable after a downturn of 0.1% in January.
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 15 March 2018.
