Germany's inflation edges up to 2.2% in August 2025

Germany’s inflation rate is expected to climb to 2.2 per cent in August 2025, slightly above the 2 per cent recorded in July, according to provisional estimates released by the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis).

The inflation rate is measured by the year-on-year change in the consumer price index (CPI). On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.1 per cent compared with July 2025, Destatis said in a release.

Excluding volatile items such as food and energy, core inflation held steady at 2.7 per cent in August. This highlights persistent price pressures in services and other goods categories despite easing energy costs.

Prices of goods increased by 1.3 per cent, up from 1 per cent in July, while energy prices continued to decline, albeit at a slower pace, down 2.4 per cent compared with 3.4 per cent in July.
