What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Spain's economic growth maintained its rhythm at 0.6 percent in the third quarter. The provisional October inflation rate was 4.9 percent. To shield consumers from soaring costs, the government introduced a 15 percent cap on natural gas price increases and provided fuel discounts through December.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The growth was largely driven by internal demand. However, inflation remains high due to volatility in oil and gas costs, which is linked to disruptions in global energy supply chains caused by the Middle East war.
