FX.co ★ French Inflation Holds Steady in April as CPI Growth Stays at 1.0% MoM

France’s consumer price growth showed no acceleration in April, with the country’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.0% month-over-month, unchanged from the previous reading.

According to data updated on 13 May 2026, the April 2026 CPI increase of 1.0% matches the prior month’s 1.0% month-on-month gain. On this comparison basis, the “actual” figure reflects price changes in April versus March, while the “previous” figure measured the change in March against February.

The data indicate that, on a short-term monthly horizon, French inflation pressures remained stable rather than intensifying or easing, providing a consistent—if elevated—price backdrop for households, businesses, and policymakers.
