German Inflation Rises To 2.9 Percent

WDR 5 Berlin 17d13d Impact 5

The German government has issued an upward revision for inflation forecasts, projecting rates of 2.8 percent for 2026 and 2.9 percent for 2027. The Federal Statistical Office reported the figure from Wiesbaden. The rise is linked to tensions regarding the Iran war. The report was provided by Christian Fint. This represents the strongest April increase in two years, following 1.9% in February and 2.7% in March. Food prices also continued to increase, though at a slower pace than in previous months. German inflation for goods and services rose to 2.9 percent in April compared to April 2025. The rise is attributed primarily to the effects of the Iran war. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Klingbeer announced a 2027 budget draft totaling 544 billion euros. The budget aims to prioritize investments and reforms to secure and create jobs.
