初步估计显示,2024年4月,法国的年通货膨胀率降至2.2%,略低于3月的2.3%,但高于2.1%的预测。尽管如此,这是自2021年9月以来的最低读数,原因是食品价格放缓(1.2%对3月份的1.7%),新鲜食品成本下降0.7%;烟草(9%对10.7%)。与此同时,制成品成本下降(-0.1%对0.1%),而能源价格上涨(3.8%对3.4%),服务价格不变(3.0%)。与上月相比,CPI上涨0.5%,与预测一致,高于此前0.2%的涨幅,原因是服务价格上涨,尤其是运输和其他服务价格上涨。考虑到欧盟统一指数,价格年环比上涨2.4%,月环比上涨0.6%。
The annual inflation rate in France eased to 2.2% in April 2024, edging lower from 2.3% in March, but above forecasts of 2.1%, preliminary estimates showed. Still, it was the lowest reading since September 2021, due to a slowdown in prices for food (1.2% vs 1.7% in March), with costs of fresh food falling 0.7%; and tobacco (9% vs 10.7%). At the same time, costs fell for manufactured products (-0.1% vs 0.1%), while prices accelerated for energy (3.8% vs 3.4%), and unchanged for services (3.0%). Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.5%, in line with forecasts and up from a prior 0.2% rise, due to an increase in prices of services, particularly transport and other services. Considering the EU-harmonised index, prices rose 2.4% on the year and 0.6% on the month.
