Rising food and energy costs resulted in consumer prices in five key German states rising to 3.2 per cent in March, statistics office data released Friday showed, according to dpa. Inflation in the nation stood at 2.8 per cent in January and February. The pickup in consumer prices in Europe's biggest economy raises the prospects of inflation in the 15-member eurozone again overshooting the European Central Bank's 2 per cent annual inflation target.
