How inflation in Romania is measured
The figures above come from Eurostat (HICP, dataset ei_cphi_m). The series is indexed so that a chosen base year equals 100, and the calculator works out the ratio between any two dates you pick.
Coverage runs from January 1996 to June 2026, and updates automatically as each new release is published. Figures for the most recent periods can be revised by the statistics office after first publication.
