Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 1.4% in February 2020, after +1.5% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. The inflation should decrease slightly, due to a marked slowdown in energy prices and, to a lesser extent, to that in food prices. Contrariwise, manufactured product prices should rebound and those of services and tobacco should accelerate slightly year on year.

Over one month, consumer prices should be stable, after −0.4% in the previous month. Manufactured product prices should rebound due to the end of the winter sale, which has been shorter than last year, and those of services should rise in the wake of a seasonal rebound in transport service prices. Energy prices should fall back, due to, in particular, a drop in petroleum product prices. Finally, food and tobacco prices should be stable.

Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 1.6%, after +1.7% in January. Over one month, it should be stable, after −0.5% in the previous month.
