The reduction of inflation in Germany despite the economic consequences of the Iran war The annual inflation rate in Germany dropped to 2.8% in October; This figure is lower than the economists' forecasts and shows that the largest economy in Europe did better than expected despite the consequences of the Iran war. According to Reuters, German inflation stood at 3.3 percent in September, and its decline in October was mainly due to the slowdown in energy price increases and the implementation of the fuel tax reduction program. Official statistics also show that the German economy grew by 0.2% in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the previous quarter; Growth that exceeds experts' forecasts and is often attributed to the increase in government spending in the infrastructure and security sectors.
