Household consumption of goods in France edged down by 0.4 percent month-over-month earlier in October 2021, following a revised 0.2 percent gain in September and came below market expectations of a flat reading. The latest reading mostly reflects a sharp fall in consumption of manufactured goods (-1.8 percent vs -1.9 percent in September), as durable goods consumption contracted (-2.7 percent vs 1.6 percent) due to a double-whammy of fewer car and housing equipment purchases. Still, losses were limited by the recoveries of food (0.7 percent vs 1-.5 percent) and energy consumptions (1.0 percent vs -0.3 percent). source: INSEE, France

French Household Consumption Unexpectedly Contracts
Household consumption of goods in France edged down by 0.4 percent month-over-month earlier in October 2021, following a revised 0.2 percent gain in September and came below market expectations of a flat reading.

French Household Consumption Unexpectedly Falls
Household consumption of goods in France dropped by 0.2 percent from a month earlier in September 2021, following a revised 0.7 percent rise in August and missing market expectations of a 0.3 percent increase, mainly due to sharp fall in food consumption (-1.5 percent vs 2.8 percent in August). Meanwhile, energy consumption was virtually stable (-0.1 percent vs 0.3 percent) and purchases of manufactured goods bounced back (0.8 percent vs -1.0 percent), boosted by textile-clothing (3.4 percent) and household durable goods (0.6 percent). Over the whole third quarter 2021, household consumption on goods increased 1.8 percent.

French Household Consumption Rebounds Stronger than Expected
Household consumption in France rose by 1.0 percent in August over the previous month, rebounding from a 2.4 percent drop in July and beating market expectations of a 0.1 percent gain. Main upward pressure came from a rebound in food consumption (3.1 percent vs -3.3 percent in July), despite a decrease in tobacco consumption; and from energy consumption (0.6 percent vs 0.7 percent), notably from purchases of fuel, which has exceeded pre-pandemic levels in July. On the other hand, consumption of manufactured goods continued to decline, although at a slower pace (-0.6 percent vs -2.8 percent), weighed down by textile-clothing (-1.5 percent vs -7.9 percent), other manufactured products (-0.7 percent, the same as in July), and durable articles (-0.2 percent vs -1.9 percent).
