Bavaria’s consumer price inflation accelerated at the start of 2026, with the January year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading rising to 2.1%, up from 1.7% in December 2025. The data, updated on 30 January 2026, indicate a modest pickup in price pressures in Germany’s largest federal state by GDP.
Both the current and previous figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month with the same month a year earlier. The move from 1.7% in December to 2.1% in January suggests that inflationary dynamics in Bavaria have strengthened, potentially signaling a shift in local price trends that could feed into broader German inflation readings in the months ahead.
