Germany's core CPI for May 2026 (Q2 2026) climbed to 102.58, a mild increase from 102.42 in the previous month. Although headline inflation was affected by energy price fluctuations, the annual core inflation rate remained at around 2.5%, indicating that wage growth has supported services inflation and prompted the European Central Bank (ECB) to maintain a wait-and-see approach to interest rate policy in the short term.
