El año 2024 termina con la inflación bajo control

The year 2024 closes with inflation under control, marking the lowest level since 2020 thanks to the widespread moderation of prices. Despite a slight uptick in the last month driven by fuel and leisure costs, the downward trend demonstrates the effectiveness of economic policies in curbing the inflationary cycle and restoring purchasing power, even without causing side effects on wage dynamics. However, the outlook presents structural risks for the future, mainly due to the depreciation of the euro against the dollar and the full recovery of VAT on food and energy. These factors complicate definitive stabilization, especially in the services sector, where price pressures have been more persistent. Convergence toward stability requires overcoming this "last mile," balancing fiscal normalization with protection against external shocks. This context is relevant for open data because the transparency of macroeconomic indicators, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), allows society to monitor the effectiveness of public measures. Public access to these disaggregated data facilitates critical analysis of cost trends, promoting more open and informed governance regarding the real impact of economic decisions on citizens' daily lives.
