NO

The consumer price index (Verbraucherpreise) in Germany in February 2023 was +8.7% compared to February 2022. The other (non consumer price) indices are falling in the last months as reported by Destatis:

2% is the target value of the european central bank (ECB) for the Euro zone. Some economists, like Heiner Flassbeck, predict that we might go below 2.% by July already.

Resolves YES, if the "Verbraucherpreise" index reported by Destatis is 2.0% or lower in any single month in 2023.

Resolves NO, if the "Verbraucherpreise" index is above 2.0% for all of 2023.

August: 6.1%

In this video Flassbeck bets against another economist. He says "Zwei vor dem Komma". This 2.99% is a weaker claim than this question here.

predicted YES

Wholesale prices are meaningless due to shortages. 90% of oil in the world is fake and refineries are collapsing.
