Spain estimates October annual CPI inflation at 4.9%
Spain’s preliminary October consumer-price estimate puts annual inflation at 4.9%, unchanged from September. Final figures are due the following month.
What the record says
Spain’s National Statistics Institute reported October 30 that its flash estimate of annual CPI inflation for October is 4.9%, the same as September. Estimated core inflation, excluding unprocessed food and energy, is 3.1%.
The national CPI estimate shows prices rising 0.6% from September. The separate harmonised measure used for cross-country comparisons estimates annual inflation at 4.9% and a monthly increase of 0.5%.
INE describes the release as a preview of final data to be published the following month. These figures describe Spain, not the entire euro area, and are distinct from forecasts about future inflation.

Limits and what is not established
Flash estimates can be revised. Annual price changes and monthly changes are different measures; a steady annual inflation rate does not mean prices stopped rising.
