Highlights: Inflation in France slows to 2.3% year-on-year in March. Inflation also slowed over one month in March, to +0.2% compared to -0.9% in February. The slowdown is due to the slight drop in energy prices, particularly gas and petroleum products, says the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies in a press release. More information to come. Inflation in February was +3.0% over one year, according to INSEE.

INSEE, which published its estimate this Friday, highlights in particular a “slowing down” in the rise in food prices.
