Inflation in Spain continues to pressure households, surging to almost 5% following another increase in gasoline prices. Food prices rose 2.7% year-on-year, adding to the financial strain on families across the country. Despite the recent increase, the accumulated balance of food prices since the start of the war remains negative overall. This indicates that while prices are currently rising, they had previously experienced a period of decline or stagnation. The continued escalation of fuel costs is a significant driver of the overall inflationary pressure in Spain. The situation presents a growing challenge for Spanish consumers as the cost of living continues to climb.
