The volume of fast-moving consumer goods rose by 1.1% y/y in Romania in the third quarter of the year, slowing down from 3.6% y/y in Q2 and 5.0% y/y in Q1, according to NielsenIQ’s report NIQ Consumer Outlook mid-2025, cited by Revistabiz.ro.
The prices have increased by 3.5% y/y, accelerating only slightly from 3.3%-3.4% y/y in Q1 and Q2, despite the VAT rate hike at the beginning of August (from 19% to 21%), which should have a 1.7 percentage points contribution if fully reflected by shelf prices. The energy price shock in July is not likely to have had an impact on end-user consumer prices so quickly.
