Romania’s producer price index (PPI) inflation slowed markedly in February 2026, dropping to 3.00% year-over-year from 7.81% in January 2026, according to data updated on 2 April 2026. The figures, measured on an annual basis, indicate a significant easing in price pressures at the factory gate compared with the same period a year earlier.
The comparison is based on year-over-year changes: the January reading of 7.81% reflected how producer prices in January 2026 compared with January 2025, while the latest 3.00% figure shows how prices in February 2026 moved relative to February 2025. The steep decline in the PPI growth rate suggests a notable moderation in cost pressures for Romanian producers as the year progresses.
