The dismissed Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan explained that inflation has exceeded 10% due to global events, such as the Gulf war, which led to an increase in fuel and raw material prices.

The dismissed Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan stated that the inflation rate in Romania has exceeded 10% due to external influences, especially the Gulf war, which has caused an increase in fuel and derivative prices. Bolojan emphasized that these increases have affected all products, having a significant impact on the economy.

He estimated that if financial stability is maintained and the government continues to implement effective policies, inflation could decrease to 5% in the autumn of this year. In May, the annual inflation rate reached 10.9%, the highest level in the last 12 months, with significant price increases for both food and non-food goods. Electricity prices have risen by 55.49%, and fuel prices by 30.55% - 36.85%. Additionally, rents have increased by 43.56% compared to last year. Bolojan emphasized the importance of maintaining financial balances to avoid a deterioration of the economic situation.
