Three quarters of Spaniards want the state to intervene in Spain’s housing market ‘as necessary’ to guarantee access to homes
Around 76% believe the state should intervene ‘as much as necessary’ to ensure people can access housing, according to a new survey.
Spain's inflation hit its highest level in over three years in September, according to the National Statistics Institute's final figures released on Wednesday. The EU-harmonised annual inflation rate surged to 5.0%, up from 4.6% in August. The core inflation, which excludes volatile fresh food and energy prices, also rose to 3.1% from 2.9%.
This marks the first time Spain's inflation rate has reached this level since 1984, a figure last seen in 2022. The surge in prices is primarily attributed to rising fuel and air travel costs. This trend of inflation has persisted above the European Central Bank's 2% target since the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
