(Reuters) – Spanish consumer prices rose 6.0 percent in the 12 months through February, up from 5.9% in the period through January, final data released by the National Statistics Institute, INE, showed on Tuesday.
The final reading was lower than the 6.1% flash estimate released by INE two weeks ago. Analysts polled by Reuters saw the 12-month inflation through February also at 6.1%.
Core inflation, which strips out volatile fresh food and energy prices, was 7.6% year-on-year, up from 7.5% a month before.
The 12-month European Union-harmonised price was also revised down to 6.0%, from a flash estimate of 6.1%, INE said.
