France's consumer price inflation accelerated in September to the highest level in eight months amid a rise in costs for services, a provisional estimate from the statistical office INSEE showed on Tuesday.
A separate official report showed that producer prices decreased slightly in August after rising for the first time in six months in July.
The consumer price index climbed 1.2 percent year-over-year in September, faster than the 1.0 percent rise in the previous month. Economists had expected inflation to rise to 1.3 percent.
