France’s consumer price inflation picked up in April 2026, with the non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI NSA) rising 2.20% year-over-year, up from 1.70% in March 2026.

The figures, updated on 13 May 2026, show that price pressures strengthened compared with the same month a year earlier, marking a clear acceleration from the pace recorded in March. Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring how prices in each month changed relative to the corresponding month of the prior year.

The April data suggest that inflationary dynamics in France are firming, with the latest reading indicating a more pronounced annual increase in consumer prices than seen in the previous month.
