The latest data published by Eurostat on the harmonized index of consumer prices – the indicator used in the European Union to compare price developments between countries – shows that the index reached 104.61 points in Romania in January 2026, compared to 100 in 2025. In other words, prices are on average more than 4% higher than in 2025.
In most European countries, the index is close to 100-101 points, which shows a much more moderate increase in prices than in Romania.
The differences are clear when compared to other European economies. While annual inflation in the eurozone is estimated at around 1.9%, in some large Western European countries price increases are even lower.
