Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 2.9% in January 2022, after +2.8% 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 of energy, service prices and to a lesser extent food. The prices of manufactured goods should slow down and those of tobacco should fall back slightly.
Over one month, consumer prices should rise by 0.3%, after +0.2% in December. The prices of energy should rebound in the wake of those of petroleum products. The prices of food should advance, over a month, at the same rate as in the previous month. The prices of services should slow down and those of manufactured goods should fall back due to winter sales.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 3.3% in January, after +3.4% in December. Over one month, it should increase by 0.1%, after +0.2% 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.
