(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 14 - Germany's inflation rate, measured as the year-on-year change in the consumer price index (CPI), was +2.1% in April 2025, the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) informed today. The rate of inflation has thus continued to fall since the beginning of the year, after reaching +2.2% in March 2025 and +2.3% in both January and February 2025. According to the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the development of energy prices had a significant downward effect on inflation in April 2025. On the other hand, rising food prices pushed inflation higher in April 2025. Furthermore, the above-average increases in service prices accelerated once again. In April 2025, consumer prices increased by 0.4% over March 2025. (ANSA).
