BNR și-a înrăutățit prognoza de inflație: 6,1% la finalul lui 2026. Ce prețuri ar putea pune din nou presiune pe români

The National Bank of Romania predicts a significant decrease in annual inflation in Q3 2026, but warns of a higher trajectory thereafter, with inflation returning to target only by the end of 2027. The inflation forecast for December 2026 has been raised to 6.1%, up from 5.5%. Factors influencing inflation include rising telecommunications and insurance prices, as well as natural gas costs. Private consumption is expected to decline more than previously estimated, impacting aggregate demand. The central bank also highlights risks to the exchange rate due to global and domestic uncertainties.
