Inflation in Bavaria continued to moderate in May, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.6% year‑on‑year, down from 2.9% in April. The latest reading, updated on 29 May 2026, points to a gradual easing of price pressures in Germany’s largest federal state.
The figures are based on a year‑over‑year comparison, with the May 2026 increase measured against May 2025 levels, while April’s 2.9% reflected the change versus April 2025. The step down in the annual inflation rate suggests that price growth in the region, while still positive, is losing some momentum compared with earlier in the year.
