Inflation in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, accelerated more than economists forecast in November after food and energy prices rose.
The inflation rate, calculated using a harmonized European method, increased to 1.6 percent from 1.3 percent in October, the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden said today. Economists predicted a gain to 1.4 percent, according to the median of 21 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. In the month, prices rose 0.1 percent.
