Producer prices in Croatia increased by 3.2% year-on-year in March 2026 from 0.9% in the previous month, marking the highest reading since April 2023. The acceleration was mainly driven by a rebound in manufacturing prices, which rose 3.9% after a 0.3% decline in February, supported by a sharp recovery in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (37.5% vs -11.5%), as well as increases in machinery and equipment (2.8% vs 2.3%) and other transport equipment (4.9% vs 4.7%). Meanwhile, the decline in mining and quarrying moderated, easing to -15.0% from -22.1%, driven in part by a smaller contraction in the extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas (-33.9% vs -44.1%). On a monthly basis, producer prices rose by 1.9%, easing from a 2.3% increase in February. source: Croatian Bureau of Statistics
