Abstract

Using an accounting approach, we estimate that a EUR 10 increase in the price of a barrel of oil would now raise consumer prices by 0.3% to 0.4% in France and by 0.4% to 0.5% in the euro area, compared with 0.6% and 0.7% respectively in 2016. This lower sensitivity is due to a reduction in both the direct effects on fuel prices and the indirect effects passed on via production costs. Sur la base d’une approche comptable, nous estimons qu’une hausse de 10 euros du prix du baril accroîtrait aujourd’hui les prix à la consommation de 0,3 à 0,4 % en France et de 0,4 à 0,5 % dans la zone euro, contre respectivement 0,6 % et 0,7 % en 2016. Cette moindre sensibilité tient à la baisse tant des effets directs sur les carburants que des effets indirects transmis par les coûts de production.
