In Bavaria, the inflation rate remained unchanged in May at 2.1%. In Baden-Wuerttemberg it eased to 2.2% from 2.4% in April, in North Rhine-Westphalia it rose to 2.0% from 1.8%, and in Lower Saxony it inched up to 2.3% from 2.2%.

Germany's sluggish economy has not grown at that pace since the third quarter of 2022, when it expanded by 0.6%.
