What the numbers say
In 2025, Romania's consumer price index (2010 = 100) rose 12.74 on 2024 (from 177.25 to 189.99).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +5.84 and a typical year strayed about 4.36 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 18.41 in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.76 in 2016. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 8.93 a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Index of the prices of consumption goods and services, as compared to a certain reference period (2010=100).
Limitations: Consumer price indexes should be interpreted with caution. The definition of a household, the basket of goods, and the geographic (urban or rural) and income group coverage of consumer price surveys can vary widely by country. In addition, weights are derived from household expenditure surveys, which, for budgetary reasons, tend to be conducted infrequently in developing countries, impairing comparability over time. Although useful for measuring consumer price inflation within a country, consumer price indexes are of less value in comparing countries.
