Germany's consumer price inflation rate is expected to climb to 5.3 percent in December of 2021, the most since June 1992 and above market expectations of 5.1 percent, a preliminary estimate showed. The inflation rate remains well above the ECB's target of 2 percent since July 2021, due to ongoing supply issues and base effects, especially the temporary VAT reduction and the sharp decline in mineral oil product prices last year. The main upward pressure should come from energy products (18.3 percent vs 22.1 percent in November), food (6 percent vs 4.5 percent), and services (3.1 percent vs 2.9 percent). On a monthly basis, consumer prices are expected to rise 0.5 percent in December. Meanwhile, the harmonized CPI which compares with other European countries was up 5.7 percent on the year, down from the previous month’s 6 percent advance. source: Federal Statistical Office
