Measures changes in producer prices. Producer prices, also known as "factory gate" prices, are those charged by producers usually before markets. Increases in French Producer Prices act as an early indicator of inflation, as higher producer prices may be passed to consumers in the form of higher retail prices. Rising inflation is often checked by increasing interest rates, which would strengthen the Euro.

The headline is the percentage change in the index from the previous month and year. The French Producer Price Index relies on the weighted average of a basket of 24,000 goods from 4,200 firms, compared to base year values.
