The data, released by the National Statistics Institute (INE), provides a fresh snapshot of consumer price trends in the eurozone’s fourth-largest economy. July Data in Context The month-on-month decline of 0.1% marks a moderation from June’s flat reading (0.0% MoM).
On an annual basis, the HICP rose by 2.9% in July, down from 3.4% in June, signaling a continued easing of inflationary pressures. The core inflation rate, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also moderated to 2.8% year-on-year from 3.0% in the prior month.
