The fall in inflation in November is mainly explained by the decline in energy prices, which, over one year, increased by 34.9%, against 41.5% in October over the same period.

Bills for food, alcohol and tobacco, on the contrary, continued to swell, reaching 13.6% over twelve months in November, against 13.1% a month earlier.

Inflation for industrial goods was stable, at 6.1%, and that for services was down slightly, at 4.2%, specifies the statistical service of the European Commission.

Unsurprisingly, within the member countries of the euro zone, the inflation rate varies greatly, from one to two.

In November, it exceeded the 20% mark over one year in the three Baltic countries - the record being reached in Latvia, with 21.7% - and it remains above 10% in eight other countries.

France is one of the least affected nations, according to Eurostat, ahead of Spain, however.

In France, in November, INSEE estimated the inflation rate at 6.2%.

This month, the rise in food prices accelerated compared to October (+12.2% over one year compared to 12% in October) while energy prices slowed their progression (18 .5% against 19.1%).
