Spain's families face an increasing struggle to afford essential goods and services, as the inflation wave once again pressures their purchasing power. After four years of attempts to recover ground lost due to the price surge that began in 2022, households now confront a further escalation in the cost of essential items and services, widening the gap between prices and wages, according to the Economic Cabinet of Comisiones Obreras (CC OO) on Friday.
The document, prepared by the union's think tank, states that the average wage grew by 24% between 2019 and mid-2026. However, during the same period, basic products and expenses such as liquid fuels, housing, and food accumulated price increases that double or even triple that gain, jeopardizing workers' purchasing power.
