“Inflation that needs to be halved”
According to Michel-Edouard Leclerc, overall inflation will decrease in the coming months. But not necessarily towards conventional products. “We just saw 17% growth in a year and a half. So for the curve to go down, we will have to do it quickly,” he says.

There is “inflation that needs to be halved for food and current consumer goods. There, many industries hit households at levels not seen in a very long time. »
