Aug ‌28 (Reuters) - ​The ​rise in French ‌consumer prices accelerated in ⁠August, preliminary ‌data from statistics ‌agency INSEE showed on Friday.

France's ​harmonized inflation rate, ⁠adjusted for comparison with ​other euro zone countries, was ​2.7% year-on-year ‌in August.

Inflation rose ⁠from the 2.4% recorded ⁠for July due ​to higher energy prices, particularly in ‌oil products, INSEE said.
