France’s consumer price inflation remained unchanged in August, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) holding at 2.4% year-over-year, according to data updated on 15 September 2026. The annual rate matches the previous reading of 2.4%, also recorded for August 2026 on a year-over-year basis, indicating a period of stability in headline inflation.
The August figure means that, compared with the same month a year earlier, prices have risen at the same pace as in the prior comparison period. With the “actual” and “previous” year-over-year readings both at 2.4%, the data suggest that the pace of consumer price increases has neither accelerated nor decelerated on this measure, offering a consistent backdrop for policymakers and markets assessing France’s inflation trajectory.
