Consumer prices in the German state of Hesse accelerated in March 2026, with the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.1% month-over-month. The latest reading, updated on 30 March 2026, marks a notable pick-up from February’s 0.4% increase compared with January.
The data, based on a month-over-month comparison, shows that March’s “actual” figure reflects the change in prices from February to March 2026, while the “previous” figure of 0.4% represented the change from January to February 2026. The sharper increase suggests that inflationary pressures in Hesse intensified at the end of the first quarter, potentially signaling a firmer price environment in one of Germany’s key regional economies.
