EA: Germany Pays for Dec-22 Disinflation

502 Views06 Jan 2023 21:52
SUMMARY
  • Flash EA inflation in Dec-22 confirmed last month’s break of the upwards trend with another substantial surprise. Germany paying its citizens’ utility bills drove the drop.
  • Energy and food prices were weaker than expected more broadly too. However, core pressures often surprised already-raised forecasts to the upside.
  • Further slowing in headline inflation is likely, despite a Jan-23 normalisation in German utility bills. The ECB will maintain its hawkish focus on excessive underlying pressures.
