In May 2025, Romania's annual producer inflation decelerated to 0.85% from a revised 1.68% in April.

Additionally, the costs for electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply notably fell by 2.04%, contrasting with a 2.58% rise in April. However, manufacturing product prices experienced a continued increase, rising to 1.65% from 1.05%.
