Trends

  1. 1

    Spain's consumer price index rose to 4.9% in September, its highest level since February 2023, driven mainly by rising fuel prices. The Basque Country saw inflation reach 5% amid an energy crisis. In response, the government has extended its 20-cent-per-litre fuel tax rebate through November to ease pressure on consumers.

  2. 2

The ruling supports the university's position on how language proficiency is assessed for admissions, and is likely to spark debate in the region over language policy in higher education.
