Iran war drives German inflation to its highest level in almost three years
German inflation rose to 2.9% in August, Deutschlandfunk reports, with energy again the main driver. The wider significance is that this is not simply a domestic German price shock: disruption around the Gulf is raising oil and gas costs internationally and transmitting the conflict directly into European household and business prices.
