The Consumer Price Index (CPI) moderated its growth in the Balearic Islands during the month of November and stood at 3.2% year-on-year, four tenths less than in October, according to final data published Friday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). This is the lowest level recorded in the archipelago since last June 2025.
In monthly terms, prices fell by 0.1% with respect to October, while accumulated inflation so far this year reached 2.7%, reflecting a progressive slowdown in the increase in the cost of living in the autonomous community.
By groups, the largest price increases with respect to November of last year were recorded in restaurants and hotels, with a rise of 6.1%, although this increase is half a point less than that observed the previous month. This was followed by housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, which rose by 4.8%, with a notable drop of 1.8 points in their year-on-year rate. Also noteworthy were the increases in alcoholic beverages and tobacco, up 4.2%, and in other goods and services, with an increase of 3.3%.
