(Reuters) -Spain's European Union-harmonised 12-month inflation rate inched up in June to 2.2%, pushed higher by fuel and food and non-alcoholic beverages, preliminary data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) showed on Friday.
The annual inflation rate rose from 2.0% a month earlier and was above the 2.0% expected by analysts polled by Reuters.
Core inflation, which strips out volatile fresh food and energy prices, was unchanged in June from the previous month at 2.2% year-on-year, the INE data showed.
Spain's 12-month national inflation also rose 2.2%, up from 2.0% in May. Analysts polled by Reuters expected a 2.0% rate.
