Inflation in Spain jumped to 4.9% in September, six tenths of a point higher than in August, driven mainly by the rising cost of fuel and lubricants for vehicles, according to the flash estimate of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published on Tuesday by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
INE explains that fuel prices rose again in September, in contrast with the fall recorded in the same month of 2025, which contributed to the sharp rebound in inflation.
