Spain's Inflation Holds at 4.9% in October, Core Rate at 3.1%
Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE) published the flash estimate of the consumer price index on October 30: annual CPI inflation in October was 4.9%, the same rate as in September, with prices up 0.6% on the month.
Core inflation, which excludes unprocessed food and energy products, stood at 3.1% year on year, unchanged from September. The harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) also rose 4.9% year on year, with a monthly increase of 0.5%.
The INE said the figures are a flash estimate and that the final October CPI data will be published next month. Spanish inflation remains elevated, with food and energy prices continuing to drive households' cost of living.
