Producer prices in Moldova fell by 0.2% year-on-year in July 2026, following a 0.4% decline in the previous month.

This marked the third consecutive month of contraction, driven mainly by a 12.8% decline in prices for electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply, which remained unchanged from June.

Meanwhile, mining and quarrying prices increased 7.7%, up from 6.8%, partially offsetting the decline in the overall producer price index.

Costs in the manufacturing sector also accelerated (0.9% vs 0.6%), led by stronger price growth for beverages (2.3% vs 1.7%), furniture (0.8% vs 0.5%), and chemicals and chemical products (5.5% vs 2.9%).

Prices for basic metals also rose faster (5.4% vs 4.8%).

These more than offset slower price growth for food products (1.6% vs 1.9%), rubber and plastic products (0.5% vs 0.7%), and paper products (1.8% vs 2.5%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices grew by 0.3% in July, accelerating from a 0.1% gain in June.
