In May 2017, the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) was stable after +0.1% in the previous month. Seasonally adjusted, it edged down by 0.2%, after having been stable in April. Year on year, consumer prices slowed (+0.8% after +1.2%).

Over a month, the stability was the result of a rebound in food prices, particularly fresh products, offset by a fall in energy prices and, to a lesser extent, in tobacco prices. Services prices were stable and the prices of manufactured products grew at the same pace as in the previous month.
