Inflația a coborât la 6,2%, dar prețurile rămân ridicate. Cum se explică de fapt scăderea

Inflation has decreased to 6.2%, but prices remain high due to last year's shocks fading from comparison. The National Institute of Statistics reported this drop, which is largely arithmetic rather than a result of price reductions. While inflation has halved from its peak, prices have not decreased but rather stopped rising as quickly. Services continue to rise significantly, with rents increasing by nearly 40%. Fuel prices saw a notable monthly increase, contributing to overall inflation. The economic context shows a slowdown, with consumers spending less, indicating that the decrease in inflation does not reflect a stabilized economy. Experts warn that the pressure from rising service costs persists, complicating the inflation outlook.
