AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoFuel & Inflation Watch: Spain is raising the diesel discount to 20 cents per litre from September after July price spikes, while petrol keeps a 5-cent plan; the move is part of the anti-crisis safeguard, but higher energy costs are still pushing inflation up to 3.6% in July (food inflation steadier at 1.6%). Regional Cost Pressure (Murcia): INE data show transport costs up 7.7% year-on-year, with restaurants and accommodation also rising—adding to the squeeze on everyday spending. Canary Islands Fuel Hit: Drivers in the Canaries are paying about 25% more for fuel since January, with diesel up roughly 31% and prices still climbing faster than mainland Spain. Hospitality & Packaging Rules: Supermarkets and hospitality warn of price increases tied to the new EU packaging regulation, with operators bracing for higher costs. Food Culture & Trade: Italian pasta brand Felicetti appoints RH Amar as its exclusive UK distributor, signaling continued premium dry pasta momentum. Local Community (Food-Adjacent): HELP Murcia Mar Menor seeks volunteers (office, outlet, van drivers) to support local causes.
