Spain inflation remains unchanged
Spain's final consumer price index (CPI) rose 4.9% year over year, matching market expectations and the previous reading.
Monthly inflation stood at 0.6%, also in line with forecasts and the previous figure. Annual core inflation remained steady at 3.1%, indicating persistent underlying price pressures.
Meanwhile, the final harmonized index of consumer prices (HICP) increased 4.9% annually and 0.5% monthly, matching both market expectations and previous readings. The figures suggested continued inflationary pressures in Spain and could influence expectations for European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy.
