German inflation drops to 1.8% in September, below expectations

1 min read

The harmonized German consumer price index eased to 1.8% in September, coming in lower than expected, preliminary data from the country’s statistics office Destatis showed on Monday.

The September harmonized CPI figure had been forecast to come in at 1.9% according to a Reuters poll. In August, the harmonized CPI had surprisingly eased to 2%.

On a monthly basis, the preliminary harmonized CPI dipped by 0.1%. A Reuters poll showed that the monthly reading was expected to be unchanged.

The German harmonized CPI figure was last under 2% — which is the European Central Bank’s target rate for inflation — in February 2021, LSEG data indicated.

Inflation readings are harmonized in the euro area and in the European Union to ensure comparability.

Core inflation, which strips out food and energy costs, came in at 2.7% for September, slightly below August’s 2.8% reading. Services inflation meanwhile eased to 3.8% after holding steady at 3.9% for several months.

Data from the statistics office also showed that energy costs plunged by 7.6% in September.

Data out earlier on Monday showed that inflation eased in several major German regions in September, with the print in the country’s most populous state North-Rhine Westphalia softening to 1.5% in September, from 1.7% in August.

Within Europe, data published last week showed that the harmonized inflation rate in France and Spain fell below the 2% target in September.

The German figures come a day before the scheduled release of flash inflation data for the euro area, which will be closely watched by investors for guidance on the odds of another interest rate cut from the European Central Bank. Earlier this month, the bank delivered its second interest rate cut of the year.
