Los precios de la energía en Europa volvieron a escalar por encima del 10% en julio
Eurostat confirma que la inflación de la eurozona se situó en el 2,9%, con España como el país con mayor tensión en el IPC entre las grandes economías
Energy prices in Europe have once again surged above 10% in July, reigniting inflation in the region, according to the European statistics office Eurostat. Eurostat's latest estimate for the year-on-year inflation rate in the eurozone in July stands at 2.9%, a tenth higher than in June. Across the entire European Union, inflation also rose by a tenth, reaching 3%.
Analyzing the components, energy prices once more jumped above the 10% mark after briefly falling slightly below that level the previous month. Among the major economies using the common currency, Spain stands out as the country with the greatest inflationary pressure, at 3.9% (note that this figure does not exactly match the INE's measurement, which calculated a rise in the IPC to 3.5% in July).
