Spain's consumer price inflation moderated in April, as initially estimated, revised data from the statistical office INE showed on Thursday.

Consumer price inflation slowed to 3.2% from 3.4% in March. The rate matched the estimate released on April 29.

Underlying inflation edged down to 2.8%, in line with estimate, from 2.9% in the previous month.

Meanwhile, EU harmonized inflation accelerated to 3.5%, as estimated, from 3.4% in the previous month.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices gained only 0.4%, compared to March's 1.2% increase. Similarly, the monthly increase in the harmonized index of consumer prices eased to 0.7% from 1.7% a month ago. Both monthly inflation figures matched estimates.
