Not much happened in Spain today. Just this.

1️⃣ Supreme Court opens door to reclaiming mortgage insurance

Spain's Supreme Court has ruled that banks cannot impose single-premium life insurance linked to mortgages. The practice, common from 2000 to 2018, often added insurance costs to mortgage capital, increasing interest and debt. Affected borrowers with active policies can reclaim the unused premium plus interest. The ruling resolved a case involving a 2017 mortgage of €151,547.62. - 20 Minutos

2️⃣ Bolaños questions suspension of voting rights for 'ley de nietos' voters

Minister Félix Bolaños called the Supreme Court's provisional suspension of voting rights for people nationalized under the 'ley de nietos' "legally very debatable." The measure affects those who obtained nationality through the Democratic Memory Law unless they can prove descent from exiles. Bolaños asked the court to resolve the issue before the 2027 elections. - Europa Press

3️⃣ Housing minister says decree fell short

Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez said she would have liked to go further with the housing decree negotiated in Congress. She blamed Podemos and Junts for blocking a pact and criticized Isabel Díaz Ayuso over evictions. Rodríguez defended Casa 47, where a three-bedroom Madrid apartment will be listed for just over €740; the portal aims to reach 100,000 rental homes in 10 years. - El Diario

4️⃣ Diesel prices surge faster than oil

Diesel margins over crude hit a record of $112.17 per barrel in the US and $98 in Europe in early September, more than double the June average of $44.75. Brent crude hovers around $104 as supply disruptions in Russia and the Middle East reduce refined fuel availability. In Spain, conventional diesel costs nearly €1.90 per liter, while premium varieties reach €2 per liter. - 20 Minutos

5️⃣ ECB expected to hold rates at 2.5% until 2027

Analysts surveyed by the European Central Bank expect the deposit rate to stay at 2.5% until the third quarter of 2027. A cut to 2.25% is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027. The ECB raised rates to 2.5% on Sept. 10 because inflation remains above target; analysts see inflation at 3.2% in Q3 2026 and 3.3% in Q4 2026, falling to 2% by late 2027. - 20 Minutos

It cites solid growth and improving public finances, though high debt and unemployment remain challenges. - 20 Minutos
