2024年4月,德国消费者价格通胀率确认为2.2%,与上月近三年来的低点持平,接近欧洲央行2.0%的目标。由于本月天然气临时减税的结束,食品价格的反弹(0.5%对-0.7%)和能源成本的小幅下降(-1.2%对-2.7%)抵消了服务业通胀的放缓(3.4%对3月份的3.7%)。4月份,不包括食品和能源等波动性项目的核心通胀率降至3.0%,为2022年3月以来的最低水平。CPI在3月份上涨0.4%后,每月上涨0.5%,为13个月来最大涨幅。与此同时,欧盟统一汇率小幅上涨至2.4%,高于3月份2.3%的近三年低点。
Germany’s consumer prices inflation was confirmed at 2.2% in April 2024, unchanged from a nearly three-year-low in the previous month, nearing the European Central Bank’s target of 2.0%. A slowdown in services inflation (3.4% vs 3.7% in March) was offset by a rebound in food prices (0.5% vs -0.7%) and a smaller decrease in energy costs (-1.2% vs -2.7%) due to the end of a temporary tax cut on natural gas this month. Core inflation, excluding volatile items like food and energy, declined to 3.0% in April, its lowest level since March 2022. Monthly, the CPI rose 0.5%, the most in 13 months, after a 0.4% gain in March. Meanwhile, the EU-harmonized rate edged higher to 2.4%, up from March's near three-year low of 2.3%.
