Prețurile alimentelor cresc în octombrie: Lactatele se scumpesc cu până la 8%, iar serviciile cu 20% • Newsweek România

In October, food prices are expected to rise by 4-8% due to increased production costs, primarily driven by fuel price hikes. Service prices may increase by 15-20%, while non-food items like clothing and electronics could see a 7-10% rise. Economic analyst Adrian Negrescu warns that inflation is likely to rise again this fall, influenced by energy and gas price increases. The depreciation of the national currency against the euro may further impact prices, especially for imported goods. The food industry is particularly affected by rising costs, with dairy products expected to see significant price increases. Producers are struggling with uncertainty regarding raw material prices and energy costs, leading to inevitable price hikes for dairy products.
