Inflation rises to 4.9%
Written by on 18 October 2026
Inflation rose again in September, reaching 4.9 per cent compared with a year earlier, according to the National Statistics Institute.
That was six-tenths of a percentage point higher than in August, and the highest annual rate since February 2023.
Transport costs were a major contributor, with higher fuel and air travel prices putting pressure on household budgets.
Underlying inflation, which excludes unprocessed food and energy, also increased, reaching 3.1 per cent.
