FX.co ★ French Inflation Holds Steady in April as CPI Growth Matches March at 1.00% MoM

France’s consumer price inflation remained unchanged in April 2026, with the non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI NSA) rising 1.00% month-over-month, the same pace recorded in March 2026.

According to data updated on 13 May 2026, the April figure confirms that price pressures, on a monthly basis, neither accelerated nor eased compared with the previous month. The “actual” comparison reflects the change in prices from April to March, while the “previous” figure measures the change from March to February, both registering identical growth of 1.00%.

The flat progression suggests a short-term stabilization in consumer prices, as month-on-month inflation held steady rather than continuing to climb or retreat. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this plateau in monthly price momentum persists or marks a pause before the next move in French inflation.
