France’s CPI rose +0.8% YoY in December 2025 (down from 0.9% YoY in November) and increased +0.1% MoM, reflecting softer energy prices alongside firmer food inflation.
- Headline CPI slowed to +0.8% YoY (from +0.9%), with the deceleration mainly driven by a more pronounced decline in energy prices, particularly petroleum products.
- Energy prices fell -6.8% YoY (Nov: -4.6%), marking a deeper annual contraction and exerting the largest downward pressure on headline inflation.
- Food inflation accelerated to +1.7% YoY (Nov: +1.4%), led by a pickup in fresh food prices (-0.4% YoY vs -2.8% previously) and continued strength in other food products (+2.0% YoY).
- Manufactured goods prices declined -0.4% YoY, easing slightly from -0.6% in November and indicating a slower pace of deflation in this category.
- Services inflation was unchanged at +2.2% YoY, remaining the most persistent source of price pressure within the CPI basket.
- Tobacco prices rose +4.1% YoY, matching November’s pace and continuing to post one of the highest inflation rates among components.
- On a monthly basis, CPI rebounded +0.1% MoM (Nov: -0.2%), driven by a seasonal increase in services prices, especially transport, partially offset by further declines in energy and manufactured products.
- The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) increased +0.7% YoY (Nov: +0.8%) and rose +0.1% MoM, closely mirroring the national CPI pattern.

France’s CPI was unchanged at +0.9% YoY (vs 1.0% YoY expected) in November 2025 and fell -0.1% MoM, reflecting offsetting moves across major components and marking another month of subdued headline inflation.
- The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) held at +0.8% YoY (vs 1.0% YoY expected) but declined -0.2% MoM (Oct: +0.1% MoM), mirroring the monthly decrease seen in the national CPI.
- Food inflation accelerated to +1.4% YoY (Oct: +1.3%), driven by a sharp rise in other food products (+1.9% YoY) that outweighed a deeper decline in fresh food prices (-2.8% YoY).
- Energy prices fell -4.6% YoY (Oct: -5.6%), showing a smaller annual decline due to a more moderate drop in petroleum product prices.
- Manufactured goods prices declined -0.6% YoY (Oct: -0.5%), indicating slightly stronger deflationary pressure in this category.
- Services inflation eased to +2.2% YoY (Oct: +2.4%), with communication services contributing notably to the slowdown.
- Tobacco prices rose +4.1% YoY, matching October’s pace and remaining one of the strongest contributors to inflation.
