Spain Inflation Strongest Since 2023
Fuel and energy costs pushed the annual rate to its highest level since February 2023, while core inflation held near 3.1%, INE said.
- On Tuesday, the National Statistics Institute reported that Spain's annual consumer price inflation accelerated to 4.9% in September, up from 4.3% in August and marking the highest rate since February 2023.
- Rising fuel costs linked to the unresolved Iran conflict primarily drove the inflationary surge, with petrol and diesel prices increasing again in September compared to price drops recorded in the same month of 2025.
- To mitigate rising energy costs, the government reintroduced a diesel subsidy of 20 cents per litre at the start of September, while maintaining a petrol subsidy of five cents per litre.
- The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices , used for European comparisons, pushed its annual rate to 5.0 percent, up from 4.6 percent in the prior month, reflecting broader regional inflationary pressures.
- Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and fresh food, rose to 3.1%, while analysts expect inflation in Spain to remain above the 4% mark for the remainder of the year.
