Prețurile din România, aproape duble față de 2017. Produsele și serviciile care s-au scumpit cel mai mult

In August 2026, consumer prices in Romania were 1.8 times higher than the average in 2017, with significant increases in electricity, RCA insurance, and food products. Inflation rates have been rising since 2021, peaking at 13.8% in 2023. Monthly price increases are generally low, but cumulative effects lead to significant consumer cost increases. The analysis highlights that food prices rose notably, with lamb meat increasing by 2.5 times, while electricity prices surged over 2.6 times. Service prices also saw substantial hikes, particularly in RCA insurance and utility services.
