Codirlașu, CFA: Creşterea preţurilor la energie electrică, petrol și gaze pune presiune asupra inflației

The rising prices of electricity, oil, and natural gas are increasing inflationary pressures, with uncertainties from the Cernavodă nuclear plant and the Iran conflict potentially causing further price shocks, according to Adrian Codirlaşu, president of CFA Romania. He noted that the local energy crisis and global oil and gas price increases are contributing factors. The inflation rate reached 6.61% in September 2026, with significant price hikes in services and non-food goods. Diesel and gasoline prices have surged dramatically compared to last year, indicating ongoing energy market instability.
