FX.co ★ French Consumer Prices Rebound in October, Rising 0.4% Month-on-Month

France’s non-seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index (CPI NSA) moved back into positive territory in October 2026, posting a 0.40% month-on-month increase, according to data updated on 13 November 2026. The reading marks a notable turnaround from September 2026, when prices fell by 0.30% on a month-over-month basis.

The October figure indicates that consumer prices in France rose compared with September, reversing the previous month’s decline. On a month-over-month comparison, the latest “actual” change reflects price dynamics between October and September 2026, while the “previous” figure captures the shift between September and August 2026, when the index had registered the 0.30% drop.

The move from negative to positive territory suggests a strengthening in price pressures at the consumer level over the latest month, breaking the short-lived downward trend observed in September.
