BREAKING. Rata anuală a inflației a crescut în septembrie la 6,6%

In September, the annual inflation rate rose to 6.6%, up from 6.2% in August, according to the National Institute of Statistics. This increase follows three months of deflation. The most significant price hikes were observed in services, with an 11.12% increase. Non-food goods saw a 7.06% rise, while food prices increased by 3.0%. Notable food price increases included coffee (13.78%) and eggs (10.84%). Fuel prices surged, with diesel up 37.61% and gasoline 28.42%. The BNR forecasts a continued upward trend in inflation due to rising energy and commodity prices, influenced by geopolitical tensions and local economic conditions. However, long-term disinflationary pressures are expected from aggregate demand corrections.
