Romania: energy inflation rate by commodity 2024

The inflation rates of energy commodity prices in Romania began increasing in 2021, and have fluctuated widely since then. Gas has seen the steepest rise, with the inflation rate peaking at 76.9 percent in June 2022. These increases in inflation were driven further by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has caused uncertainty over Europe's security of gas supply, as well as intense energy price volatility. However, since the beginning of 2023, energy commodity prices have shown a decrease in the country.
