Producer prices in Moldova rose 2.2% year-on-year in February 2026, slowing from 3.5% in January and marking the lowest rate since January 2025. The deceleration was driven by weaker inflation in mining and quarrying (4.8% vs 5.7% in January) and a sharp drop in prices for electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning (-5.4% vs 9.3%).
By contrast, manufacturing prices inched higher (2.9% vs 2.8%), supported by stronger price growth in the manufacture of food products (3.7% vs 3.1%), leather and related products (2.7% vs 0.3%), and rubber and plastic products (0.5% vs -0.4%).
On a monthly basis, producer prices decreased 0.2% in February, following two consecutive months of no change.
