National consumer price index (VPI, not HICP), all items, Germany, unadjusted: percent change on the same month a year earlier as Destatis publishes it in GENESIS-Online table 61111-0002. Every month agrees with Destatis's own one-decimal index within rounding. History starts 1992-01, the first month the table publishes a rate. GENESIS holds Destatis's final monthly results; the flash estimate is not read. Release times and vintages are unknown.
