The annual report released by the German Equality Welfare Federation on April 29 local time showed that the high inflation faced by Germany in 2024 further aggravated social poverty, the size of the poor population expanded, and the living conditions of some groups continued to deteriorate. The report pointed out that Germany's poverty rate rose to 15.5% in 2024, an increase of 1.1 percentage points from the previous year, equivalent to about 13 million people living below the poverty line in the country. Among them, single-parent families, young people and elderly women are particularly affected. At the same time, there are significant differences in poverty between Germany's federal states.

ECB President Lagarde: Trump tariffs are more likely to reduce inflation in Europe than to increase it

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said that U.S. tariffs are more likely to curb inflation for Europe than to cause it, but more time is needed to fully assess the situation. "It is very unclear how big the net impact will be," she said at a Washington Post event. "Especially if Europe does not decide on countermeasures, I think the net inflation is uncertain at this point, but it may be more of a suppression of inflation than a boost to inflation."
