Additional information is available in the note about methodological changes for 2023.

Monthly change: +0.4% in January; year-on-year change: +6.0%

In January 2023, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.4% over one month, after ‑0.1% in December. The prices of energy rebounded (+3.9% after ‑3,6%) due to the increase in petroleum product prices (+6.7% after ‑5.2%), partly due to the end of fuel rebates, and the rise, in part supervised, in gas prices (+7.9% after ‑1.4%). The prices of food accelerated (+1.7% after +0.5%) and those of services slowed down (+0.1% after +0.3%). The prices of manufactured goods fell back (‑1.1% after +0.2%) due to the winter sales.

Seasonally adjusted, consumer prices increased by 0.8% over a month, after +0.1% in December.

Year on year, consumer prices grew by 6.0% in January 2023, after +5.9% in December. This slight increase in inflation resulted from an acceleration in food prices (+13.3% after +12.1%) and energy prices (+16.3% after +15.1%). The prices of manufactured goods (+4.5% after +4.6%) and those of services (+2.6% after +2.9%) slowed down.
