French anti-inflation retail programme lowers selected grocery prices in 2023
On 15 March 2023, a voluntary anti-inflation programme began across participating French retailers after discussions led by Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire and Olivia Grégoire. Retailers selected essential products and funded lower prices from their margins. DGCCRF reported that, by late April, the aggregate price of roughly 1,700 tracked product-price references had fallen about 13% from the pre-programme level. This was a bounded retail agreement, not a statutory price-control regime.
