Abstract: Services price inflation in France stood at 1.0% in 2016, well below its average from 1999 to 2015 (around 2%). This paper looks at the mechanisms through which the fall in oil prices and lower headline inflation have contributed to slowing services prices since mid-2014. An analysis of these interactions suggests that services price inflation will begin to recover as of 2017, to around 2%.

L’inflation des services en France s’est établie à 1,0% en 2016, un niveau nettement inférieur à sa moyenne de 1999 à 2015 (environ 2%). Ce billet explore par quels mécanismes la chute des prix du pétrole et la baisse de l’inflation totale ont contribué à ralentir les prix des services depuis mi-2014. L’analyse de ces interactions suggère une remontée de l’inflation des services, après 2017, vers 2%.
