French consumer inflation remained stable at 0.9% in July, meeting analysts' expectations and aligning with June's figures, as confirmed by INSEE.
(Reuters) -Consumer price inflation in France was stable in July and met analysts' expectations and the preliminary reading, statistics office INSEE said on Thursday.
France's harmonized inflation rate, adjusted for comparison with other euro zone countries, was +0.9% year-on-year in July, INSEE said.
A poll of 17 analysts surveyed by Reuters had on average expected the +0.9% rate for EU-harmonised inflation. INSEE reported the same figure in its preliminary reading.
The consumer inflation rate was also at +0.9% year-on-year in June.

Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, eroding purchasing power. It is typically measured as an annual percentage increase.
Consumer price inflation refers to the increase in the price level of a basket of consumer goods and services over time, reflecting the cost of living.
A harmonized inflation rate is an inflation measure that is standardized across different countries, allowing for easier comparison, especially within economic regions like the Eurozone.
INSEE, the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies in France, is responsible for collecting and analyzing economic data, including inflation statistics.
