Spain's EU-harmonised inflation rate remained at 2.7% in August, with core inflation rising to 2.4%, according to the National Statistics Institute.
(Reuters) -Spain's European Union-harmonised 12-month inflation rate remained at 2.7% in August, the same as in the period through July, final data released by the National Statistics Institute (INE) showed on Friday.
The INE's final data was in line with the forecast in both the flash reading released two weeks ago and the average estimate from analysts polled by Reuters.
Core inflation, which strips out volatile fresh food and energy prices, rose to 2.4% in the 12-months through August, up from 2.3% in the period through July, the INE said.
Spanish national consumer prices rose 2.7% in the 12 months through August, the same increase as during the period through July. The data was line with the rate initially measured by the INE two weeks ago.

Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, eroding purchasing power. It is often measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the Producer Price Index (PPI).
Core inflation measures the long-term trend in prices by excluding volatile items such as food and energy. It provides a clearer view of the underlying inflation trend.
Consumer prices refer to the prices paid by consumers for goods and services. Changes in consumer prices are used to measure inflation and the cost of living.
Economic growth refers to the increase in the production of goods and services in an economy over a period of time, typically measured by the rise in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
