French Household Consumption Unexpectedly Stalls
Household spending in France was stable month-over-month in February of 2021, following an upwardly revised 4.9 percent decline in January and missing market expectations of a 2 percent rise. Expenditure on energy dropped (-3.1 percent), amid lower gas and electricity consumption (-3.5 percent), as temperatures were milder at the end of the month, after a relatively cold January. Also, food consumption decreased (-2.2 percent). Meanwhile, manufactured goods purchases rebounded (3.4 percent vs -13.2 percent in January), namely those of durable goods (2.3 percent vs -10.3 percent) and clothing and textiles (15.8 percent vs -28 percent), linked to the postponement and then extension of the winter sales period amid Covid-19 restrictions.

France Household Consumption Sinks More than Expected
Household spending in France sank 4.6 percent month-over-month in January of 2021, following a downwardly revised 22.4 percent surge in December and worse than market forecasts of a 3.5 percent drop. The decline in January is mainly due to a drop in consumption of manufactured goods (-12.9 percent). After a particularly dynamic December with the reopening of all stores and the postponement of "Black Friday", the backlash in January was undoubtedly amplified by the postponement of sales and the strengthening of the curfew. On the other hand, spending on energy (6.3 percent) and food (1.7 percent) increased.
