2018- n° 113In April 2018, consumer prices increased by 1.6% year on year Consumer price index - provisional results - April 2018
Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should increase by +1.6% in April 2018, as in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This stability in the year-on-year inflation should result from a sharp acceleration in energy prices, and to a lesser extent, in food products prices, offset by a slowdown in the prices of services. Otherwise, manufactured product prices should decline at the same pace as in March.

Otherwise, manufactured product prices should decline at the same pace as in March.
Over one month, consumer prices should slow down (+0.1%) after the rebound of the previous month. This deceleration should result from the seasonal decline in manufactured product prices, as well as stable tobacco prices after a sharp rise in March. Services prices should slow, as well as those of food because of fresh products. In contrast, the prices of petroleum products should rebound strongly this month.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should continue to accelerate (+1.8% in April after +1.7% in March). Over one month, it should slow down sharply, to +0.1% after +1.1% 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 15 May 2018.
