Romanian managers foresee price increases across all sectors by the end of 2026, with moderate job cuts expected in manufacturing and construction. Retail and services are likely to remain stable. The National Institute of Statistics (INS) reports that construction and retail will see the highest price hikes, while manufacturing anticipates a decline in production and employment. Despite stable activity in services, price increases are also expected. These projections reflect managers' expectations rather than confirmed changes in employment or production levels.
