Consumer Price Index<br />

Consumer prices have increased 0.2% on the month in October 2007 in Germany,<br />

and 2.4% from October last year, pushed by the increase of food and oil prices,<br />

according to the CPI estimate released by Destatis. These figures were in line with<br />

the market analysts’ expectations which advanced a 0.1% monthly rise and a<br />

2.4% yearly increase. According to Destatis, the <strong>Europe</strong>an Harmonized Index for<br />

Consumer Prices has increased 0.2% on the month and 2.7% on the year. The<br />

reason for these figures have been the higher prices of food, such as milk, eggs,<br />

vegetables and sharp increase of fuel prices.<br />

In a more narrow perspective, inflation is very important for both purchase power<br />

and rental indexation.<br />
