Inflation Shock New Data Reveals

Germany’s annual rate of consumer price inflation eased slightly in June 2025, according to data released Monday by the Federal Statistical Office.

The inflation rate is projected to reach 2.0 percent, a marginal decrease from 2.2 percent in March and 2.1 percent in April. Consumer prices are expected to have remained stable month-on-month during the sixth month of the year.

A key indicator, the inflation rate excluding food and energy – often referred to as core inflation – is anticipated to have fallen from 2.8 percent in May to 2.7 percent in June. This metric remains notably higher than the overall inflation index.

Energy prices continued a downward trend, registering lower than levels seen in June of the previous year (down 3.5 percent year-on-year). Food prices increased by 2.0 percent year-on-year, while prices for services rose by 3.3 percent.
