FX.co ★ Romania’s Annual Inflation Eases to 9.3% in February, Extending Gradual Downtrend

Romania’s consumer price inflation continued to ease in February 2026, with the year-over-year CPI rate slipping to 9.3%, down from 9.6% in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 13 March 2026, confirm a gradual softening in price pressures compared with the same period a year earlier.

Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning February’s 9.3% figure reflects how prices in February 2026 compare with February 2025, while January’s 9.6% rate measured the change versus January 2025. The third consecutive reading below double digits highlights a continued, though still moderate, disinflationary trend in Romania as inflation edges further away from prior peaks.
