That is pretty bad for the Germans right now Pushed by high energy and food prices, inflation rose to 10% in September in Germany. The figure was 7.9% in August. Inflation was being spurred on by rising energy prices which have soared since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to the federal statistical office, Destatis, energy prices were 43.9% higher in September 2022 this year than in the same month last year. Destatis said the end of a fuel subsidy and the €9 public transport ticket "presumably had an impact on the inflation rate in September." German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced on Thursday plans for an energy relief package worth €150-200 billion ($145-194 billion). www.dw.com/en/german-inflation-hits-record-10-in-september/a-63276749
