„Inflația industrială” a încetinit brusc în iulie. Dar motivul nu e cel pe care îl speră toată lumea

In July 2026, industrial production prices increased by 8.8% compared to July 2025, marking a significant monthly deceleration. This coincides with a sharp drop in inflation from 10.42% in June to 8.16% in July. The decline in the manufacturing of coke and oil products significantly influenced the overall index. While energy prices have decreased at the factory gate, retail electricity prices rose. The intermediate goods sector continues to see price increases, indicating potential future inflation in consumer prices. Notably, the domestic market has cooled, with external market pressures now influencing price dynamics.
