German producer prices fell by the most year-on-year in September, boosting concerns that inflation is slowing in Europe’s biggest economy. Producer price records from the Federal Statistics Office date back to 1949.
Producer prices of industrial products fell 14.7% in September from a year earlier, a steeper decline than the 12.6% decline in August.
The decline in prices is mainly due to the base effect leading to higher price levels in 2022 as a result of the war in Ukraine.
