In September 2021, consumer prices increased by 2.1% year on year Consumer price index - provisional results - September 2021
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 October 2021.
Additional information is available in “For further information”.
Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 2.1% in September 2021, after +1.9% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This increase in inflation should result from the acceleration in service and energy prices. The prices of manufactured goods, and to a lesser extent food and tobacco should slow down.
Over one month, consumer prices should fall back by 0.2%, after +0.6% in August. Service prices should contract sharply, due to the seasonal downturn in the prices of certain tourism-related services. The prices of food should drop in the wake of those of fresh food. The prices of tobacco should decrease slightly and those of manufactured goods should slow down. In contrast, the prices of energy should accelerate.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 2.7% after +2.4% in August. Over one month, it should decrease by 0.2% after +0.7% in the previous month.

Definition
The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) is designed for comparison of consumer price inflation between Members States of the European Union. It is computed for all households in France except Mayotte. The main difference between HICP and CPI is about the health costs: HICP is based on net prices of social security reimbursements and CPI is based on gross prices.
