DHL Group (Deutsche Post) may not increase the postage for letters and postcards in 2024. The German Federal Network Agency rejected a request from the Group for an early increase in postage in business with German consumers, as it announced on Monday. Swiss Post made a profit in the letter business with private customers, the Federal Network Agency said as a reason. Letter prices were sufficient.
