FRANCE FEB CONSUMER CONFIDENCE 82, JAN 83
- French consumer confidence edged down by one point to 82 in February, following the upwardly revised Jan data (due to a calculation error).
- The indicator remains only a few points above the September low and in deeply negative territory.
- Personal finance outlooks weakened and propensity to make major purchases was stable, dragging further on household consumption in the near-term.
- 12-month inflation expectations edged up in February. This follows the January HICP print, which edged up 0.3pp to +7.0% y/y, only 0.1pp below the October/November high.
- This uptick was largely due to the winding back of government energy support measures, which saw fuel and regulated gas prices jump recently.
- A continued decline in French inflation will be necessary if consumer sentiment is to improve over the coming months.
