title: In case you missed it... In Germany, inflation slowed more than expected at the end of last year.
description: "Consumer prices rose 1.8% in Dec YoY, below the 2.1% forecast. \nThe slowdown was driven mainly by falling energy prices and a sharp easing in food inflation, which dropped to just 0.8%. \nCore inflation also declined to 2.4%, although service inflation remains stubbornly high at 3.5%.\n\nSource: HolgerZ, Bloomberg"
