Bavaria: Inflation in Bavaria in February at 8.8 percent

Fürth (dpa / lby) - Inflation in Bavaria remained at a high level in February. At 8.8 percent compared to the same month last year, it was just as high as in January, as the State Statistics Office announced on Wednesday. The strongest price drivers included food, which increased by 21.2 percent, and household energy, which rose by 32.4 percent. Fuels (3.7 percent), on the other hand, no longer played such an important role as they did in the past.

Inflation is therefore somewhat lower than in autumn 2022. According to the new calculation method, it peaked in November at 9.2 percent. At that time, even higher values ​​were reported by the state office, but since then the exact calculation has been changed, so that retrospectively there are slightly different numbers.
