2026.04.2908:00:00UTC+00Bavaria’s Inflation Ticks Up to 2.9% in April, Slightly Above March Reading

Consumer price inflation in Bavaria edged higher in April 2026, with the regional CPI rising 2.9% year-over-year, up from 2.8% in March 2026. The data, updated on 29 April 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in price growth in Germany’s largest state by area.

Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, with April’s figure measured against April 2025 and March’s against March 2025. While the increase is marginal, the uptick suggests that inflationary pressures in Bavaria remain persistent rather than easing, a dynamic that will be closely watched by policymakers and businesses across Germany.
