The Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) has finalized the Consumer Price Index (IPC) for July, confirming an annual rate of 3.6%. This figure represents a revision of one-tenth of a percentage point upward from previous estimates and marks an increase of four-tenths of a point compared to the previous month. The rise is primarily attributed to the increased costs of fuel, lubricants, and electricity.
This 3.6% rate is the highest recorded for the index in two years. The data confirms a persistent inflationary trend driven by energy-related expenses, impacting the overall cost of living as measured by the national statistical body.
