INS: Managerii anticipează creșteri accentuate de prețuri în construcții și comerț în următoarele luni

Economic managers foresee stability in activity from August to October 2026, but expect significant price increases in construction and retail. The National Institute of Statistics (INS) reports that these insights come from statistical surveys conducted in August 2026, reflecting managers' expectations about economic activity, employment, and prices. The conjunctural balance indicates managers' perceptions rather than actual growth rates. In manufacturing, production volume is expected to remain stable, while construction and retail sectors also predict stability in activity but with rising prices. Overall, a moderate increase in employment is anticipated across sectors.
