ISTANBUL (AA) – Germany’s annual inflation was at 1.6% in September, down from 1.9% in August, down from 1.9% in July, the federal statistical office Destatis revealed on Friday.

"The last time inflation was lower than in September 2024 was over three years ago, when it stood at +1.5% in February 2021," Destatis stated.

In particular, weaker energy prices slowed inflation more significantly in September 2024 than in the previous months.

Energy product prices fell by 7.6% year-on-year in September.

Meanwhile, price increases for services, which are still above average, pushed inflation up.
