FX.co ★ German Producer Prices Accelerate to 6.7% in September, Signalling Rising Cost Pressures

Germany’s producer price inflation accelerated in September 2026, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) rising 6.7% year-over-year, up from 4.6% in August 2026. The data, updated on 20 October 2026, indicate a strengthening upward trend in factory-gate prices and suggest growing cost pressures within the industrial sector.

The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month with the same month a year earlier. The September reading therefore reflects a sharper increase in producers’ costs than in August, when the annual rate of change stood at 4.6%. This widening gap in consecutive months underscores that input and production costs are rising at a faster pace as the autumn period begins.
