Disappointing inflation in France

Lower-than-expected proved to be the performance of inflation in France, for the month of…
October.
Specifically, it stood at 0% from September 2016 and 0.4% compared to October of 2015.
Analysts had expected an increase of 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively.
The reduced performance is due to the fall in the prices of food and services.
The harmonised price index finally stood at 0.5%, remaining unchanged from September.
