The annual growth rate of consumer prices in Spain slowed to a 22-month low of 3.2 percent in May from 4.1 percent in the previous month, according to the final data published by the Spanish Statistics Office (INE) on Tuesday.

In addition, the prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages rose at a slower pace, by 12 percent after 12.9 percent in April, while the price increase of hotels, cafes and restaurants, as well as home furnishings and household equipment also moderated in May.
High food prices are a significant burden for Spanish households. The Spanish government announced at the end of December that, among other things, it will try to alleviate the burden caused by inflation in the first half of 2023 in Spain by temporarily canceling the VAT on certain basic foods.
