Consumer prices in Germany’s Brandenburg region declined in May, with the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI) posting a month‑on‑month drop of 0.1%, according to data updated on 29 May 2026. The move marks a sharp reversal from April 2026, when prices had risen 0.6% compared with the previous month.

The May reading, measured on a month‑over‑month basis, compares the change in prices in May against April, while the previous figure reflected April’s change versus March. The swing from a 0.6% increase to a 0.1% decline suggests a notable cooling in short‑term price pressures within Brandenburg, adding a regional signal of easing inflation dynamics within Germany.
