初步估计显示,2024年3月,法国的年通货膨胀率从2月的3%降至2.3%,为2021年9月以来的最低水平,低于2.6%的预测。消费者价格普遍放缓,即食品价格(1.7%对2月份的3.6%),新鲜食品成本下降3.9%;服务业(3%对3.2%);烟草(10.7%对18.7%);能量(3.4%对4.3%);以及制成品(0.1%对0.4%)。与上月相比,CPI上涨0.2%,远低于2月份的0.9%,原因是能源价格略有下降,主要是天然气和石油产品,而制成品价格预计将因冬季销售后服装价格的季节性上涨而加速。考虑到欧盟统一指数,价格年环比上涨2.4%和0.2%,也分别从2月份的3.2%和0.9%有所回落。
The annual inflation rate in France slowed to 2.3% in March 2024, the lowest reading since September 2021, from 3% in February, and below forecasts of 2.6%, preliminary estimates showed. There was a broad based slowdown in consumer prices, namely food (1.7% vs 3.6% in February), with cost of fresh food falling 3.9%; services (3% vs 3.2%); tobacco (10.7% vs 18.7%); energy (3.4% vs 4.3%); and manufactured products (0.1% vs 0.4%). Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.2%, well below 0.9% in February, due to a slight drop in energy prices, mostly gas and petroleum products while prices of manufactured goods are expected to have accelerated due to the seasonal rise in clothing prices after the winter sales. Considering the EU-harmonised index, prices rose 2.4% on the year and 0.2% on the month, also easing from 3.2% and 0.9% respectively in February.
