Germany's consumer price inflation stood at 2.2% in April 2024, holding steady at its lowest level since May 2021 and slightly below market forecasts of 2.3%, a preliminary estimate showed. A slowdown in services inflation (3.4% vs 3.7% in March) was offset by a rebound in food prices (0.5% vs -0.7%) and a smaller decline in energy costs (-1.2% vs -2.7%) due to the end of a temporary tax cut on natural gas this month. Meanwhile, the EU-harmonized rate edged higher to 2.4%, up from March's near three-year low of 2.3%, slightly surpassing the market consensus of 2.3%. Core inflation, excluding volatile items like food and energy, dipped to 3.0% in April, its lowest level since March 2022. source: Federal Statistical Office
