Romania’s producer price index (PPI) growth eased markedly in July 2026, signaling a notable cooling of cost pressures in the industrial sector. Year-over-year PPI inflation slowed to 8.75% in July, down from 12.69% in June 2026, according to data updated on 2 September 2026.
The figures are based on annual comparisons, with the current reading measuring the change in producer prices in July 2026 versus July 2025, while the previous figure reflected changes in June 2026 against June 2025. The sharp deceleration suggests that pipeline inflationary pressures may be moderating, a development that could eventually filter through to consumer prices and broader economic conditions in Romania.
