France, inflation slows to 4.5%
Consumer prices in France rose 4.5% year-on-year in June, after rising 5.1% in May. This is estimated by Insee, the French national institute of statistics. “This further decline in inflation should be due to the decrease in energy prices (linked in particular to the further year-on-year decline in oil product prices following their monthly increase lower than that recorded in June 2022) and the slowdown of the prices of food products”, explains the institute. On a monthly basis, consumer prices are expected to increase by 0.2% in June 2023, after -0.1% in May. Energy prices are expected to rebound slightly on the back of oil product prices. Prices of services should increase at a rate close to the previous month, while those of manufactured goods should remain practically stable. Food prices (excluding fresh produce) are expected to slow for the third consecutive month.
