El dato de inflación del 4,9% en septiembre confirma las rebajas fiscales a los carburantes
El repunte de la gasolina y el diésel asegura la ayuda de 20 céntimos en la gasolinera, pero el alza contenida de la electricidad frena los alivios en la factura
The definitive inflation figure for September, released on Wednesday by the National Statistics Institute (INE), confirms that the government's extraordinary subsidies for gasoline and diesel will continue. The fuel prices have surpassed the 15% threshold that guarantees the prolongation of the maximum rebates set in the third crisis package, approved on September 29 and awaiting validation in the Congress on Friday.
The statistics center has confirmed the early data: that inflation stood at 4.9% year-on-year last month, while the underlying rate - which excludes non-manufactured food and energy - rose to 3.1%. Economists say the figures indicate the Spanish economy has reached the peak of the current inflation wave, driven mainly by conflict in the Middle East, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the subsequent surge in oil and its derivatives on international markets.
