France is one of the good students in Europe. Placed in 4th position among European countries with the lowest inflation, it "only" shows an increase of 6.1 percentage points over one year. A nice score that allows it to slip just behind Malta (6.1%), Switzerland (3.4%) and Liechtenstein (2.5%). The traditional European good pupil, Germany, receives a lower score (+7.5% YoY). Even more surprisingly, The United Kingdom has seen its CPI rise by 9.1% since the beginning of the year. This inflation rate is just below the European average of +9.6%.
