Spain gained 81,808 net formal jobs in February to 20.4 million jobs, after a January job gain, a separate report from the Social Security Ministry showed. Meanwhile, consumer prices in Spain rose 6.1% year-on-year in February - a faster pace than the 5.9% during the 12 months to January - preliminary data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) showed on Tuesday.
