According to the National Institute of Statistics, the slowdown in food prices has offset the “strong acceleration” those of energy. In September, the latter increased by 11.9% over one year, after 6.8% in August, due to “not rebound” petroleum products. The rise in electricity prices is slowing down a little (+16.1% in September after +18% in August), while gas continues to increase at the same rate (+7.6%).
Conversely, food prices, which had become the main driver of inflation, continued to slow down for the sixth consecutive month. They increased by 9.7% year-on-year in September, compared to 11.2% in August. The decline is even more marked for fresh products. Over one month, they even fell by 0.3%, a first since October 2021, according to INSEE.
