July's inflation rate in Germany holds steady at roughly 2%
Germany's Inflation Rate Remains Steady in July
The national inflation rate in Germany remained stable at 2.0% year-on-year from June to July 2025, according to preliminary estimates released by the Federal Statistical Office [1][2][4]. Monthly consumer prices increased by 0.3% in July after being flat in June, reflecting a slight rebound in prices [1].
Across Germany's federal states, some experienced changes in their inflation rates. For instance, Lower Saxony saw a decrease in its annual inflation rate from 2.2 percent in the previous month to 1.9 percent in July [3]. On the other hand, Hesse experienced an increase in its inflation rate, going from 2.3 percent in the previous month to 2.4 percent in July [1]. Saxony, however, experienced a decrease in inflation, going from 2.4 percent in the previous month to 2.1 percent in July [1].
In Bavaria, the inflation rate increased slightly from 1.8 percent in the previous month to 1.9 percent in July [1]. Brandenburg's inflation rate remained stable at 2.2% in July, while Berlin's inflation rate increased from 2.0% to 2.1% in July [1]. Baden-Württemberg's inflation rate remained at 2.3% in July, and Saxony-Anhalt's inflation rate remained unchanged at 2.5% in July [1].
The final national inflation figures will be released mid-month, providing a more comprehensive view of the economic situation in Germany [2]. It is worth noting that changes in the national inflation rate process are very rare, according to the Federal Statistical Office [2].
The available data do not provide detailed inflation rates broken down by individual states or regions. For more specific state-by-state inflation data, it may be necessary to consult the Federal Statistical Office of Germany or regional statistical agencies for detailed monthly CPI figures by federal state.
