Madrid, Spain – In a significant development for the Spanish economy, the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for August 2024 showed a notable decrease. The latest data, updated on 12 September 2024, indicates that the HICP has settled at 2.4%, compared to the 2.9% recorded in the same period a year ago.

Continued monitoring and further analysis will be essential to understand the underlying factors influencing this decline and its broader implications on the Spanish economy.
