Inflation in France reached 6.1 percent in July 2022 year-on-year according to the French statistics institution (INSEE). This continues a trend which saw 5.8 percent inflation recorded in June, 5.2 percent inflation in May and 4.8 percent inflation in April. Increased cost of energy is again the main contributor to inflationary pressures, at 12.3 percent, although this represents a significant decline relative to June (33.1 percent).
