Spain Inflation Accelerates to 4.9% in September, Above Expectations
Spain’s annual CPI inflation rate rose to 4.9% in September from 4.3% previously, coming in above the 4.6% market forecast.
The stronger-than-expected increase points to renewed inflation pressure in one of the euro area’s largest economies. The acceleration is notable because it suggests price growth is not only remaining elevated but is moving higher again.
