Monthly change: -0.6% in September; year-on-year change: +5.6%

In September 2022, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreased by 0.6% over one month, after +0.5% in August. The prices of services contracted (-1.5% after +0.3%), due to the more marked seasonal downturn in the prices of certain tourism-related services. For the third consecutive month, the prices of energy decreased (-2.6% after -3.9% in August and -1.3% in July) in the wake of those of petroleum products (-7.0% after -7.6% in August and -3.6% in July). The prices of manufactured goods (+0.9% after +1.8%) and those of food (+1.1% after +1.7%) slowed down.

Seasonally adjusted, consumer prices decreased by 0.3% after +0.2% in August.

Year on year, consumer prices grew by 5.6% after +5.9% in August. This decrease in inflation resulted from the slowdown in service prices (+3.2% after +3.9%) and energy prices (+17.9% after +22.7%). The prices of manufactured goods increased at a rate comparable to that of August (+3.6% after +3.5%), while those of food accelerated again over a year (+9.9% after +7.9%).

Smaller core inflation year on year

Year on year, core inflation decreased slightly, reaching +4.5% in September, after +4.7% in August. The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) decreased by 0.5% over one month, after +0.5% in the previous month; year-on-year, it slowed down slightly: +6.2% after +6.6% in August.
