TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Services inflation accelerated to 1.9 percent in June from 1.2 percent in May. This was mainly attributable to the increase in package holiday prices (6.1 percent). Also, price increases were observed  for services of social facilities (5.2 percent), maintenance and repair of vehicles (4.7 percent) and rail tickets (3.6 percent). Another major factor contributing to the development of service prices was the increase in net rents exclusive of heating expenses (1.4 percent), as households spend a large part of their consumption expenditure on this item. In contrast, an unusually large price decrease was recorded for pre-primary education services (-12.2 percent), which was due especially to the reduction of childcare costs in some Länder.

Goods prices increased 1.5 percent in June, slower than 1.8 percent in the prior month, as a slowdown in energy inflation offset a pick up in food inflation. Gains were also recorded for other goods such as newspapers and periodicals (4.6 percent) and tobacco products (3.4 percent). However, prices were down for some goods such as telephones (-6.9 percent) and consumer electronics (-6.1 percent).
