Inflation in Spain falls to 1.9% in May in line with ECB targets

Summary of Inflation Trends in Spain: May to February 2026

In May 2025, Spain experienced moderate inflation with an average price increase of 1.9%, bringing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to a low for the year, as recorded on Friday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). This is the lowest level since October 2023, when the CPI stood at 1.8%. Meanwhile, the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which tracks monthly changes in consumer prices across different industries, fell by 0.3 percentage points to 1.9% in May. The HICP also showed a monthly decrease of 0.1%, and inflation in May was among the three most consecutive months to decline since April.

Despite the slight decline in May, the inflation target for the medium term remains at 2%, as set by the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB’s decision to maintain price stability in the euro area requires a 2% annual rate, so the consistency of the general inflation index has been achieved despite the higher-than-average March and April rates.

The reasons for the moderate inflation slowdown in May likely include the decline in leisure and cultural sectors, reduced prices in the transport sector, and agency increases in electricity demand. This echoes the five months of moderate inflation since 2018, suggesting a trying economic landscape. The factors contributing to the slowdown are multifaceted, with economic铜pute and good performance in the tourism and energy sectors playing key roles. While the economy is slowing down, the impact of oversupply in energy and other sectors raises concerns about supply-side restrictions.

The moderate inflation trends in Spain are neither a hi-capital nor a fiscal텍 challenge, which reshaped⁻ correlate with the shrinking debt-to-GDP ratio and increasedPermissionsResult debt (tensions between tax burden and perceived credit risk). Recent episodes of strong performance pushed fiscal indicators, but economic confidence has waned, leaving the economy uncertain. As the path to a stable, moderate inflation rate like 2% is lengthened, the challenges likely remain: balancing bre Taking while balancing economic activity across sectors, and addressing broader risks.
