Paris, July 12 (BridgeNews) - French consumer prices remained
unchanged in June after a sharp 0.7% rise in May as the cost of fresh
food, oil products and some manufactured goods eased back, according to
preliminary unadjusted data released by national statistics agency INSEE.
(See table .6660). The June consumer price index was up 2.1% on an annual
basis, still a touch above the key 2% mark identified by the European
Central Bank as a worrisome inflation level.
