FX.co ★ Hesse Inflation Ticks Higher in September as Regional CPI Rises to 0.5% MoM

Consumer prices in the German state of Hesse accelerated in September 2026, with the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.5% month-over-month, up from a 0.3% increase in August 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 September 2026, indicate a pickup in short-term inflationary pressures compared with the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, September’s “actual” figure reflects the change in prices from August to September, while the “previous” figure shows how prices moved from July to August. The step-up from 0.3% to 0.5% suggests that price momentum in Hesse strengthened into early autumn, a development that will be closely watched by analysts assessing the broader inflation path in Germany’s regional economies.
