Latest data released by Destatis - 3 January 2020
- Prior -0.8%
- CPI +1.4% y/y
- Prior +1.1%
That's a modest increase in consumer inflation towards the end of last year and the better news is that core inflation is also seen rising further to +1.8% y/y.
That should reaffirm expectations for stronger price pressures in the national reading later as inflation looks to be settling into a better spot to begin 2020.
