In October 2016, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) was stable over a month, after a downturn by 0.2% in September. Seasonally adjusted, it was unchanged too, after a slight rise in September. Year-on-year, the CPI grew by 0.4% as in the previous month.

This month-on-month stability came from an acceleration in energy prices, offset by a fall in food and services prices. Furthermore, manufactured product prices were unchanged.
