According to preliminary data from the German Federal Statistical Office, consumer prices harmonized with the standards of the European Union in May increased by 6.3% year-on-year.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices fell by 0.2% in May, which is the first decline in five months. In April, this indicator increased by 0.6%.


Prices calculated according to German standards increased by 6.1% year-on-year in May, the lowest pace since March 2022, due to a slowdown in price growth in all categories.


In particular, food prices rose by 14.9% (in April – by 17.2%), energy – by 2.6% (6.8%), services increased in price by 4.5% (4.7% in April). The final data on the dynamics of inflation for May will be released on June 13.
