According to the report from Insee, over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 1.1% in March 2019, after +1.3% in February, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of March 2019. The decrease in inflation should result from a slowdown in the prices of services, food and tobacco. Contrariwise, energy prices should gather pace anew. At least, those of manufactured products should drop at the same pace as in February.

Over one month, consumer prices should rise by 0.8% after a stability in February. Manufactured product prices should rebound after the end of winter sales in February. Those of services and tobacco should rise after a stability in the previous month. Contrariwise, energy prices should slow down and food prices should fell back due to an accentuated decrease in fresh product prices.

Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should slow down: +1.3% in March 2019 after +1.6% in February. Over one month, it should rise by 0.9%, after +0.1% in the previous month.
