France's Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) month-over-month (MoM) growth rate for the third quarter of 2026 (2026-07-01) reported at 0.6%, a significant recovery from the -0.2% in the previous quarter. This wave of increase was mainly driven by the summer travel peak season pushing up service sector prices, as well as the bottoming out and rebound of energy prices, indicating that short-term inflation pressure remains.
