The annual CPI of the Canary Islands stands at 4.4% in September, six tenths higher than in August, and is the lowest among the autonomous communities. Fuels, housing, and restaurant and accommodation services explain the rise.

The inflation in the Canary Islands reaches 4.4% year-on-year in September, according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) and reported by elDiario.es. This figure represents 0.6 points more than the 3.8% recorded in August and reflects the variation for the period from October 2025 to September 2026.

The archipelago has the lowest general indicator of all autonomous communities, along with Aragon. The national average stands at 4.9% and the highest regional rate corresponds to Castilla-La Mancha, with 5.5%.

Fuels are the component that increases the most. Their price rises by 10% over the last twelve months, compared to 10.5% for the country as a whole, although in the last month they decrease by 0.5%. So far this year, they have accumulated a rise of 7.9%. The INE links this increase to the military situation in the Middle East.

Housing also puts upward pressure. Its price rises by 0.8% in the last month, accumulating 3.3% in the first nine months of the year.

Restaurant and accommodation maintain an average annual inflation of 4.5%

Restaurant and accommodation services, linked to tourism, register an average annual inflation of 4.5%, with a rise of 2% in the first nine months of the year. According to the published information, the high season will begin in October.
