The Spanish economy continues to be the main driving force of the Eurozone, registering the highest growth among major European countries between July and September. According to provisional data, Spain observed an increase in its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 0.8%. However, there are concerns about rising inflation in the country. The Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) predicts that inflation may rise slightly towards the end of the year, closing at levels close to 2%. This increase, however, is subject to various potential influences. After four months of moderation, prices have begun to accelerate in growth, nearing the 2% mark set by the European Central Bank (BCE) as an indicator of ‘stability’.
