What this value means
DEFINITIVE result for June 2026, published 10 July 2026 — the latest month available at last_confirmed. INSEE publishes each month twice: a provisional flash estimate on the last working day of the reference month (June 2026 flash: Informations rapides n° 162, +1.8%, wording in the conditional 'augmenteraient', insee.fr/fr/statistiques/9015205) and the definitive figure around the 12th-15th of the following month (n° 168, indicative wording 'augmentent'). This file serves DEFINITIVE figures; the flash can be revised by 0.1 pp. Index base is 100 = 2025 (INSEE rebased from base 2015 to base 2025 with the January 2026 index). IPCH/HICP VARIANT: the harmonised index used for ECB and Eurostat purposes stood at +2.0% YoY in June 2026 (after +2.8% in May) — consistently ABOVE the national IPC because of differing treatment of health expenditure reimbursements, insurance and owner-occupied housing. Anyone reconciling France against euro-area aggregates must use the IPCH, not this series. Core inflation (inflation sous-jacente) was +1.0% in June 2026 after +1.5% in May. The June deceleration from 2.4% to 1.8% is almost entirely an energy base effect: energy +11.0% YoY after +16.6%, petroleum products +19.7% after +31.1% amid the Middle East conflict; services slowed to +1.9% (after +2.1%), food to +0.9% (after +1.1%), and manufactured goods fell faster (-1.1% after -0.6%) partly on seasonal-sales calendar effects. On the month, the IPC FELL 0.3% in June after +0.1% in May. Because the 2026 inflation path is energy-driven and volatile, month-to-month swings in this series are large and should not be read as trend. Note also that the same inflation surge triggered the mid-year SMIC revalorisation on 1 June 2026 — the two series are mechanically linked via the IPC for the lowest-income 20% of households, the trigger having been met by the APRIL 2026 index published 13 May 2026. ACCESS: INSEE serves clean HTML Informations rapides pages that fetch reliably, but the underlying BDM time-series pages (insee.fr/fr/statistiques/serie/...) are JavaScript shells that return no data to a fetcher — always cite the Informations rapides release, not the serie URL.
