En enero, España registró su mayor tasa de inflación desde junio, alcanzando el 2,9%, impulsada por la restauración del IVA pleno sobre la electricidad y el encarecimiento de los combustibles. Este repunte no es un fenómeno aislado, sino el reflejo de decisiones fiscales que, al expirar, devuelven su peso real a las economías domésticas. Mientras los hogares absorben facturas más altas y llenan el depósito con mayor coste, un dato alentador emerge en el horizonte: la inflación subyacente retrocede, sugiriendo que el núcleo de la economía aún no ha interiorizado estos choques como una tendencia

Demonstrates EU member states' continued exposure to energy price volatility and geopolitical shocks (Ukraine war legacy). Spain's inflation trajectory influences ECB monetary policy decisions affecting all eurozone members. Energy dependency remains a structural weakness in European strategic autonomy.
Similar to 2022 energy crisis when VAT reductions temporarily masked underlying inflation; restoration of full VAT now reveals persistent price pressures, echoing post-crisis stagflation concerns of the 1970s.

Households face increased utility bills and transportation costs, reducing disposable income. However, some relief from declining olive oil (-21.9%) and sugar (-15%) prices partially offsets energy inflation. Lower-income households are disproportionately affected as energy and food represent larger budget shares.
The restoration of full 21% VAT on electricity (from 10%) is a key driver, suggesting the government's anti-crisis measures are being unwound. Policymakers may face pressure to reintroduce energy subsidies if inflation persists or social discontent rises. Energy price regulation and potential food price monitoring may be considered.
