According to the data provided by experts, at present, Germany

Fruit (+14.7%), gasoline (+9.2%), coffee (+9%), electric power (+7%), gas (+3.5%), and vegetables (+3.5%), as the above products are usually paid in cash, it makes the German people feel that the price is very high. In fact, if the consumer price is calculated, the increase should be only 1.2%. The reason is that many products such as digital cameras (-8.2%), notebook computers (-12.1%), telephone charges (-2.7%), package tours (-0.1%), sweets (-0.2%) or clothing (not only) have not gone up, but they have gone down in price.

In addition, a large number of commodities increased by less than 2%, such as rent (+1.3%), meat products (+1.1%), skin care products (+0.2%), cars (+0.2%), etc.

The current rise in oil and cocoa prices is mainly due to the outbreak of war in North Africa, a major oil producing country in Libya and an important cocoa producing country in the world.

Other important factors that affect inflation in Germany are that, last year, German companies were operating well and making money. Therefore, the major trade unions have asked for salary adjustment. This will also affect inflation. However, according to experts, so far, although the unions have asked for a pay adjustment, they still need to raise their employment opportunities, so the demand for salary adjustment is quite moderate.

To sum up, despite the existence of inflation in Germany, the German retailing industry should grow steadily this year.
