Most Germans still 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 indicates 73 percent of Germans see rising prices as their main concern, even though real income losses from the inflation wave had largely been recovered by the end of 2024 – a finding reported by the union-affiliated IMK economic institute. Commentators attribute the gap to everyday visibility: fuel prices are seen daily, while payslips only once a month, so perception lags behind the data.
Why now: Inflation remains the top voter worry even as official data show real incomes have recovered, creating a perception-versus-reality debate.
