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 13 August 2021.

Additional information is available in “For further information”.

Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 1.2% in July 2021, after +1.5% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This decrease in inflation should result from the downturn in manufactured good prices, linked to the postponed summer sales, the slowdown in the prices of services, and to a lesser extent tobacco. Conversely, the prices of food should rebound and those of energy should accelerate.

Over one month, consumer prices should rise by 0.1% as in June. The prices of manufactured goods, particularly those of clothing and footwear, and those of tobacco should fall back. The food prices should be stable after a decrease in the previous month. Linked to the summer period, the prices of services should accelerate, as those of energy.

Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 1.6% after +1.9% in June. Over one month, it should increase by 0,1% after +0.2% in the previous month.
