73% of Germans worry most about rising prices

Original: 73 Prozent der Deutschen sorgen sich vor allem um steigende Preise. Dabei waren die realen Einkommensverluste Ende 2024

A survey finds 73 percent of Germans are mainly worried about rising prices, even though the union-affiliated IMK economic institute says real income losses had been made up by the end of 2024. Commenters note the gap between perception and data: fuel prices are seen daily, while payslips arrive only monthly, making inflation feel more present than recovered wages.

Why now: Germans' inflation anxiety contrasts with new data showing real incomes have recovered, prompting debate.
