BERLIN, Jan ⁠6 (Reuters) - Inflation ⁠slowed ‍in several German states in December, official data ‍showed on Tuesday, pointing to ​a lower national rate in Europe's ​largest economy.

Official national data are due at 2 p.m. (1300 GMT).

Inflation fell below the ​2% mark in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, ​as well as Lower Saxony and Saxony.

Economists ‌surveyed by Reuters expect national inflation to decline to 2.2% ​in December, down ⁠from 2.6% in November.

A eurozone-wide report is expected ‌on Wednesday.

Inflation in the bloc has hovered around the European Central ‌Bank's 2% target, boosted by price ‌hikes in the services sector, and is expected to stay there for the ‍foreseeable future.

Most analysts expect the ECB to keep ⁠its interest rate unchanged in the coming months.
