BERLIN (Reuters) – German consumer prices, harmonised to compare with other European Union countries, rose by 11.3% on the year in November, preliminary data from the Federal Statistics Office showed on Tuesday.
Compared with October, prices were unchanged, it added.
Analysts had expected harmonised data to rise 0.1% on the previous month and increase 11.3% on an annual basis.
The statistics office offers a breakdown for November on its website.
The increase was due to higher costs for food and energy, which have grown considerably since the war in Ukraine began and have had a substantial impact on the inflation rate, according to the office.
