Latest data released by Destatis - 23 December 2019

Germany import prices
  • Prior -0.1%
  • Import price index -2.1% vs -2.3% y/y expected
  • Prior -3.5%

The data is released a little earlier than expected. Import prices show some improvement last month but the trend is still pointing to rather subdued price pressures overall. It's a welcome development but we'll see if there is a more of a recovery in the coming months.
