🏛️ France's Economic History
France's inflation journey spans from the prosperous "Trente Glorieuses" (1945-1973) with moderate inflation, through the stagflation crisis of the 1970s when inflation peaked at 13.6% in 1974 during the oil shocks, to the "Barre Plans" austerity measures of the late 1970s-early 1980s. The adoption of the Euro in 1999-2002 brought monetary stability under ECB policy, with inflation averaging 1.7% from 2000-2019. Recent spikes reached 5.66% in 2023 but moderated to 2.3% in 2024. Overall, €100 in 1960 equals €1,246 today. Data sources: INSEE, ECB, OECD, World Bank.
