BERLIN, Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- The price growth in Germany slowed more than expected to 1.8 percent in December 2025, preliminary data showed on Tuesday, putting annual inflation at 2.2 percent for 2025.
According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), the December reading eased from 2.3 percent in October and November, driven primarily by a steeper decline in energy prices. Food inflation slowed to 0.8 percent after having outpaced the headline rate for much of 2025.
