Producer price inflation in Spain climbed further to 10.5% in May 2026, a new high since December 2022, from an upwardly revised 8.5% in the prior month. Energy prices remained the main driver (28.2% vs 23.0% in April), pushed by higher costs in electricity production, transmission and distribution, and to a lesser extent gas production and pipeline distribution, partly offset by a sharper decline in oil refining prices. Additional upward pressure came from intermediate goods (6.1% vs 4.1%), on the back of higher chemicals, fertilizers, plastics and rubber costs. Prices for capital goods rose slightly faster (2.2% vs 2.1%) while consumer goods costs slowed (1.3% vs 1.6%). Excluding energy, producer prices surged by 3.5%, compared to 2.7% increase in the previous month. On a monthly basis, producer prices rose by 1%, after an upwardly revised 2% advance in April.
