Destatis confirmed annual German consumer-price inflation of 3.3% for September 2026, while prices rose 0.6% from August. The final release on October 13 confirmed the provisional result published on September 30 and added detailed movements across expenditure groups.

Energy prices were 14.9% higher than a year earlier; motor fuels rose 37.1% and heating oil 74.9%. Food prices increased 0.4%, while services rose 2.7%. These component rates describe different parts of the consumer basket and are not interchangeable with the overall CPI rate.
