Overview
France's consumer price index stood at 131.40 in 2025, a rise of +4.90 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 131.40 by 2025. France ranked 158th globally.
France’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose from 10.43 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 131.40 in 2025, reflecting a cumulative price increase of more than twelvefold over 66 years. The index’s trajectory has been marked by periods of moderate inflation interspersed with sharper spikes, notably during the oil crises of the 1970s and the post‑pandemic supply‑chain disruptions of the early 2020s, which together propelled the CPI toward its 2025 high. In the latest World Bank release, France ranked 158th globally with a CPI of 131.40, closely trailing Belize’s 131.29 and marginally ahead of St. Vincent and the Grenadines at 132.46, indicating that its price level now aligns with small open economies rather than the traditionally higher‑priced European peers such as Denmark (133.32). Continued moderation of energy costs and a stable monetary policy could temper further CPI acceleration, while renewed fiscal stimulus or external shocks would likely push the index upward.
