Xinhua, July 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

France's Statistics Institute Bureau Insee announced Wednesday the consumer prices index (CPI) was slightly down by 0.1 percent last month from a month earlier on falling energy and manufacturing prices.

The index grew 0.3 percent year-on-year, it added.

"In June, prices of manufactured products, especially clothing and footwear, decreased seasonally with the start of summer sales. Moreover, prices of petroleum products and food also went down. Insee said in a monthly economic report.

French government expects 2015 inflation rate to reach 0.9 percent. Endit
