Details of the preliminary CPI report:
In October 2023, Germany's inflation rate is expected to be +3.8%, the lowest since August 2021, with the consumer price index (CPI) showing no change from the previous month and a +3.8% increase from the same month last year. The harmonized consumer price index (HICP) for the same period indicates a +3.0% year-on-year increase but a -0.2% decrease from the previous month.
A significant factor in this trend is the 3.2% year-on-year decrease in energy prices, contrasting with a substantial +6.1% increase in food prices compared to the previous year. The core inflation rate, excluding food and energy, is expected to be +4.3%.
