Latest Updates

Germany's consumer price inflation remained at 2.3% in February 2025, unchanged from the previous month and in line with market expectations, according to a preliminary estimate. A slowdown in services inflation (3.8% vs. 4.0% in January) and a further decline in energy costs (-1.8% vs. -1.6%) were offset by a significant rise in food inflation (2.4% vs. 0.8%). Core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, eased to 2.6%, the lowest rate since June 2021. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.4% in February, following a 0.2% decrease in January.
