Harmonised index of consumer prices, June 2026:
Inflation rate of +2.3% expected in June 2026
The inflation rate in Germany is expected to be +2.3% in June 2026. It is measured as the change in the consumer price index (CPI) compared with the same month a year earlier. Based on the results available so far, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) also reports that consumer prices decreased by 0.3% on May 2026. The inflation rate excluding food and energy, often referred to as core inflation, is expected to stand at +2.5% in June 2026. Energy prices are expected to be up 3.4% on the same month of the previous year. The rise in energy prices therefore slowed once again in June (May 2026: +6.6% on May 2025; April 2026: +10.1% on April 2025).
