Overview
Romania's consumer price index stood at 191.84 in 2025, a rise of +14.59 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 191.84 by 2025. Romania ranked 64th globally.
Romania's Consumer Price Index (CPI) has demonstrated significant fluctuations over the past 36 years. The index registered an all-time high of 191.84 in 2025, a value that ranks #64 globally. Conversely, 1990 marked the trough, with a CPI of 0.02. This substantial increase from the trough to the peak reflects the country's economic growth and development, albeit with some volatility. A comparison with peer countries reveals that Romania's CPI is closely aligned with that of Timor-Leste, which shares a similar ranking of #63. Chile, another peer country, experienced a comparable CPI peak, at 190.86. The CPI's upward trend suggests that Romania continues to navigate inflationary pressures, which could be influenced by external factors such as global commodity prices and monetary policy decisions. A shift in these external factors, particularly if accompanied by prudent fiscal management, could potentially alter the trajectory of Romania's CPI, leading to a more stable economic environment.
