Spain’s consolidated public-sector deficit reached 1.75 per cent of gross domestic product by the end of August.

That represents just over 31 billion euros, compared with 1.72 per cent during the same period last year.

However, the primary deficit, which excludes interest payments, fell by more than 21 per cent.

The figures cover central government, regional administrations and Social Security, but exclude local councils.
