Over one month, consumer prices should rise by 0.6%, after +0.4% in April. After the downturn the previous month, the prices of energy should rise linked with the rebound in petroleum product prices. The increase in food prices should be less sustained than in April. The prices of services and manufactured goods should slow down.
Year on year, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices should rise by 5.8%, after +5.4% in April. Over one month, it should increase by 0.7%, after +0.5% in the previous month.
