According to the report from INSEE, over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 1.3% in April 2021, after +1.1% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This increase in inflation should result from the acceleration of the service prices and those of energy. The tobacco prices should rise at the same rate as in the last month. The decrease in manufactured good prices should maintain at the same level as in March. The food prices should fall back in the wake of those of fresh produces.

Over one month, consumer prices should rise by 0.2% after +0.6% in March. The prices of energy should fall back and those of manufactured goods and those of tobacco should be stable. The service prices and those of food should increase.

Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 1.7% after +1.4% in March. Over one month, it should increase by 0.3% after +0.7% in the previous month.
