France’s inflation drops to four-year low at 0.8% YoY in February

France’s CPI should have risen by 0.8 per cent YoY in February 2025 after a 1.7-per cent YoY rise in January, provisional estimates show.
The sharp slowdown can be explained by a sharp drop in energy prices.
Manufactured products prices would have also fell YoY in February, but to a lesser extent.
Consumer prices were expected to be stable in February MoM, after a 0.2-per cent MoM rise in January.
