Destatis said in its 15 September release that the annual increase was the highest since February 2023. The office linked the rise especially to wholesale prices for energy products and raw materials. The wholesale index tracks prices in business-to-business trade and is not the consumer-inflation measure. ## Data ### Wholesale selling prices, y/y German wholesale selling-price index change for August 2026 year on year; business-to-business selling prices, no conversion.
