Romania Inflation Rises; GDP Shows Decline in Key Sectors
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Erste Group raised its estimate for Romania's year-end annual inflation from 6.4% to 7% after the annual inflation rate climbed in September to 6.61% from 6.17% in August. Separately, GDP figures for the first half of the year indicate that the economy has lost traditional growth drivers. Consumption is falling, industry is contracting, and activity is declining in the trade, transport, and HoReCa sectors.

Why it matters
The combination of rising inflation and contracting key economic sectors suggests pressure on the Romanian economy. The Ministry of Energy also stated that while industrial consumers are subject to regulations, temporary consumption reductions are used proactively to balance the National Energy System.
