FX.co ★ French July CPI Holds Steady at 0.60% Month-on-Month, Signaling Inflation Pause

France’s consumer price index (CPI) on a non-seasonally adjusted basis remained unchanged in July, with month-on-month inflation holding at 0.60%, according to the latest data updated on 14 August 2026. The reading matches the previous month’s 0.60% increase, indicating a pause in the short-term momentum of price pressures.

The July 2026 figure reflects a like-for-like comparison with June 2026, while the previous 0.60% reading measured June’s price growth versus May. With the indicator flattening at the same monthly rate, the data suggests that, at least over the early summer period, consumer prices in France have been rising at a steady rather than accelerating pace. Investors and policymakers will watch upcoming releases closely to see whether this stability persists or gives way to renewed inflationary pressures in the months ahead.
