The inflation rates of energy commodity prices in France began to increase significantly in 2021 and continued to rise throughout 2022. Liquid fuels have seen the steepest rise, with the inflation rate peaking at 89.9 percent in June 2022. These increases in inflation were driven further by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has caused uncertainty over Europe's security of gas supply, as well as intense energy price volatility.
