The organization itself, based in Paris, notes this, calculating that i energy prices recorded a tendential acceleration of 7,9% in the second month of the year compared to 7,4% in January, a figure offset however by the slowdown in foodstuffs which grew by 3,9% against 4,3% in previous month.
The annual inflation rate continues to fall in Great Britain from 3,6% to 3,4% while it remains stable – again in February – in France with 2,3% and in the USA with 2,9%.

In the Eurozone it is stable at 2,7%. In all other major economies, except India, the inflation rate decelerated: from 4,5% to 3,2% in China (the lowest since June 2010), from 4,2% to 3,7% in Russia and from 6,2% to 5,8% in Brazil.
