German inflation rose to 2.8% in July, up from 2.5% in June. Inflation also increased in four major German states. In Bavaria it reached 2.8%, in North Rhine‑Westphalia 2.7%, in Baden‑Wuerttemberg 2.5%, and in Lower Saxony 2.7%. Higher energy and raw material prices, partly due to the war in Iran, contributed to the rise.
