The National Statistics Institute (INE) has revised the consumer price index (CPI) for September upwards by one tenth of a point, to 3%, three tenths of a point higher than the previous month, due to the smaller decrease in fuels and lubricants compared to that recorded a year ago, although the Canary Islands, with 2%, was the region where prices rose the least.
The INE also revised the core inflation rate upwards by one tenth of a point this Wednesday - which does not take into account energy or unprocessed food because they are the most volatile components - to 2.4%, the same rate as in August.
With regard to food, prices rose by 2.4% nationally in September, one tenth of a point more than the previous month, although the increase in products such as eggs (17.9%) and beef (16.5%) stands out.
In the Canary Islands, prices fell by 0.7% in September compared to the previous month, and have risen by 1.1% so far this year.
Housing and hotels, cafés and restaurants, with annual increases of 5.5% and 4.6% respectively, were the most inflationary items in the islands at the close of the ninth month of 2025, according to data released this Wednesday by the INE.
