German consumer prices rose in April, confirming preliminary
data, the German statistics office Destatis said Wednesday.
Consumer prices rose 2.0% on year, measured by national
standards, in line with the forecasts of economists polled by The
Wall Street Journal. Prices rose 2.1% on year by European
Union-harmonized standards, also in line with forecasts.
On month, consumer prices rose 0.7% by national standards and
0.5% by EU-harmonized standards, both as forecast.
The coronavirus pandemic and its related restrictions caused
pricing collection problems again in April as some products weren't
available in the market, Destatis said.
