Spain's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) has shown signs of cooling, reaching 2.2% in February 2025, according to the latest data update on March 14, 2025. This marks a slight decrease from the previous rate of 2.4%, reflecting a continuous moderation in inflationary pressures within the country.
The Core CPI, which excludes volatile components such as food and energy, offers a clearer picture of the underlying inflation trends. The year-over-year comparison highlights that, although the inflation rate remains positive, it decelerated when compared to the same period last year.
The reduction in the Core CPI suggests that inflationary pressures in Spain are easing, which may influence the economic policy decisions of the European Central Bank in the coming months. As the Spanish economy continues to adapt to global economic challenges, the latest figures indicate a shift towards stability in consumer prices, providing some relief for both consumers and policymakers.
