Inflation analysis
Inflation in France
This page covers 157 years of France consumer price data, from 1870 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1948, when consumer prices in France rose 58.6%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices fell in 20 of those 156 years, mostly in the early part of the record — about 13% of the time — most sharply in 1921, when they dropped 13.1%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1940s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 32.4% a year, while the 1890s were the calmest at -0.2%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 2.1% a year, markedly calmer than the 5.7% average across the whole record.
