What is the French inflation based on CPI?
When we talk about the rate of inflation in France, this often refers to the rate of inflation based on the consumer price index, or CPI for short. The French CPI shows the change in prices of a standard package of goods and services which French households purchase for consumption.
In order to measure French inflation, an assessment is made of how much the French CPI has risen in percentage terms over a give period compared to the CPI in France in a preceding period. If prices have fallen this is called deflation (negative inflation).
