The Spanish statistical office INE released its final consumer price inflation data on Wednesday. Consumer price inflation in Spain was up 0.6% in March, in line with the preliminary reading, after a 0.4% decrease in February.

The monthly rise was mainly driven by an increase in clothing and footwear, which climbed 4.3% in March.

On a yearly basis, consumer prices fell by 0.8% in March from a year ago, in line with preliminary reading, after a 0.8% decline in February.

The annual decline was mainly driven by a drop in the prices of housing and transport.
