FX.co ★ French Consumer Prices Hold Steady in January, Matching December Decline

France’s non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI NSA) recorded a month-on-month change of -0.30% in January 2026, unchanged from the -0.30% decline registered in December 2025. The data, updated on 18 February 2026, indicate that consumer prices fell at the same pace as in the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” figure for January compares the change in prices against December 2025, while the “previous” figure reflects the December 2025 change relative to November 2025. The identical -0.30% readings across both months suggest short-term price dynamics remained stable at the start of 2026, with no additional acceleration or moderation in the monthly rate of consumer price declines.
