2026-07-15 07:24 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Spain's annual inflation rate was unrevised at 3.2% in June 2026, unchanged from May and April.

Higher electricity (6.0% vs -5.5% in May) and gas (0.8% vs -9.7%) prices were the main sources of upward pressure, while slower increases in motor fuel prices such as diesel (14.1% vs 23.9%) and petrol (1.3% vs 7.5%), partly offset their impact.

Price growth also moderated for food & non-alcoholic beverages (1.9% vs 2.2%); alcoholic beverages & tobacco (3% vs 3.5%), recreation & culture (2% vs 2.6%) and insurance and financial services (3.2% vs 4.6%).

Meanwhile, the core inflation rate eased to 2.9% from an upwardly revised 3.0% in May, matching the earlier estimates.

The EU-harmonized annual rate stood at 3.6%, matching May's reading, in line with preliminary estimates.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.6%, up from a 0.1% increase in May, and the harmonized index also went up 0.6%, after a 0.1% rise in the month before, both matching early estimates.

Spain Inflation Rate Hits Two-Year High in July
Spain’s consumer price inflation rose to 3.5% in July 2026, up from 3.2% in June and above the 3.4% market forecast, according to preliminary data. This is the highest rate since May 2024, fueled by rising costs for fuels, lubricants, and electricity, as renewed Middle East tensions push energy prices higher again. The core inflation rate, excluding unprocessed food and energy, also climbed to 3.0%, from 2.9% in June, matching May’s near two-year peak. Meanwhile, the EU-harmonized inflation rate reached 3.8%, surpassing the 3.7% expectation and remaining well above the European Central Bank’s 2.0% target.

Spain Inflation Rate Holds at 3.2% as Expected
Spain's annual inflation rate remained unchanged at 3.2% in June 2026, matching the readings in May and April and meeting market expectations, according to preliminary estimates. Upward pressure came from electricity and gas prices, which increased more sharply than they did in June 2025. In contrast, motor fuels and lubricants for personal vehicles helped moderate inflation, as their prices declined compared with the increase recorded a year earlier. Meanwhile, the core inflation rate eased to 2.9% from an upwardly revised 3.0% in May. On a monthly basis, the CPI rose 0.6%, following a 0.1% rise in May. Considering the EU-harmonised CPI, the annual inflation rate also steadied at 3.6% and the monthly rate also increased to 0.6% from 0.1%.
