In November 2025, French domestic producer prices experienced a 1.1% increase from the previous month, following a stagnation in the prior period. This represents the most significant rise since November 2024. The growth was largely propelled by a substantial uptick in prices for mining and quarrying products, alongside energy and water, which rose by 3.7% after a decrease of 0.5% in October. This was influenced by the transition to winter electricity transmission rates. Additionally, the cost of manufactured goods saw a recovery, climbing 0.3% in contrast to a 0.1% decline previously, mainly due to a notable surge in coke and refined petroleum products, which jumped by 6.3% after falling 2.8%. On an annual scale, the fall in producer prices was more pronounced, dropping 3.3%, marking the largest decrease since December 2024, following a 0.8% fall the previous month. When excluding energy in its broadest context such as hydrocarbons, refined petroleum products, and electricity, producer prices in the French industry increased by 0.1% from October and rose by 0.4% compared to the same month last year.
