Germany’s inflation pulse eased in April 2026, with month‑on‑month consumer price growth slowing to 0.6%, down from 1.1% in March 2026, according to data updated on 29 April 2026.
The latest reading shows a clear moderation in short‑term price pressures compared with the previous month. While March’s 1.1% month‑on‑month rise had pointed to a brisk pace of price gains, April’s 0.6% outcome indicates a softer increase in consumer prices across the German economy.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” April figure reflects the change in prices from March to April, whereas the “previous” value captured the shift from February to March. The deceleration suggests that, at least for now, the recent inflation momentum in Germany is losing some steam.
