· Verified on 7 September 2026
Spain’s advance CPI indicator put annual inflation in August 2026 at 4.3%, seven tenths higher than in July. INE published the estimate on 28 August and set the monthly change at 0.7%. These are advance data; final results will be published next month.
INE says motor fuels and lubricants influenced the annual change because their prices rose, whereas they fell in August 2025. Food and non-alcoholic beverages also contributed to a lesser extent. Estimated core inflation fell one tenth to 2.9%.
CPI measures a broad basket of goods and services purchased by households. Its headline rate therefore does not describe the change in each fuel price and cannot be applied directly to a home-delivery diesel bill.
To assess the actual impact, compare the same product, volume, destination and delivery date, including taxes, transport and commercial terms. The INE figure provides national economic context; it is not a commercial tariff.
This information was verified on 7 September 2026 using INE’s release, results database and methodology. We will update it when the final figure is published.
