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 14 August 2019.

Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should slow down slightly in July 2019 after an acceleration in the previous month (+1.1% after +1.2% in June and +0.9% in May), according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This slight drop in inflation over a year should result from a slowdown in the prices of energy, services and tobacco. Contrariwise, food prices should be more dynamic than in June and those of manufactured goods should decrease barely less.

Over one month, consumer prices should fell back by 0.2% in July, after +0.2% in June. The prices of manufactured goods and tobacco should fell, due to the summer sales. Those of energy should drop more than in the previous month. Services prices should gather pace, due to the stronger rise in the prices of transport and “other services” transport. Finally, tobacco prices should increase slightly.

Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should slow down (+1.3% after +1.4% in June). Over one month, it should fell back by 0.2%, after +0.3% in the previous month.
