(Reuters) – Spanish consumer prices rose 8.9% year-on-year in September, down from 10.5% in the period through August and slightly below the flash estimate of 9.0% released two weeks ago, final data released by the National Statistics Institute showed on Friday.
Analysts polled by Reuters saw the 12-month inflation to September at 9.0%.
Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, was 6.2% year-on-year, down from 6.4% a month earlier.
INE revised the 12-month European Union-harmonised price increase to 9.0% down from a previous estimate of 9.3%.
