Governor Mugur Isărescu said recently that price increases in Romania are now significantly higher than the National Bank’s previous forecast, with the NBR estimating that the inflation rate will be around 5% for July (up from 3.9% in June) and 5.6% at the end of the year, mainly due to energy prices. Mugur Isărescu said the figures did not “look pretty”. However, he added that Romania was not alone in this situation, with high inflation in the United States, Hungary and Poland, as well as in Germany, the country of price stability.
