According to the flash estimate issued by the INE, the annual inflation of the CPI in August 2017 was expected to be 1.6%. This indicator provides a preview of the CPI that, if confirmed, would imply an increase of one tenth in the annual rate, since in July this rate was 1.5%.

It is worth nothing in this behaviour the increase in the prices of fuels (diesel and gasoline/petrol). In turn, the annual rate of the flash estimate of the HICP in August stood at 2.0%. If confirmed, the annual rate of the HICP would increase three tenths as compared to the previous month.
