French Producer Prices See Biggest Rise in a Year

French domestic producer prices rose 0.2% month-on-month in December 2025, slowing sharply from an upwardly revised 2.8% surge in November. The moderation was driven by weaker prices in extractive industries, energy, and water (+2.9% vs +10.8% in November), while prices for manufactured goods declined (–0.6% vs +0.5%). Costs also fell sharply for coke and refined petroleum products (–13.1% vs +7.8%), whereas prices for food products increased slightly (+0.1% vs –0.2%).
