Romanian Inflation Climbs to One-Year High as Leu Hit Record Low
Romanian inflation accelerated in May after the leu's decline to a record low during a recent political crisis boosted costs of goods and services. Consumer prices rose 5.5% from a year earlier, compared with 4.9% in the previous month, the statistics office in Bucharest said on Thursday. That's above the 5.3% median estimate in a Bloomberg survey and the highest since April last year. Prices increased 0.5% on the monthly basis.

Consumer prices rose at an annual rate of 4.85% in April, compared with 4.86% in March, the statistics office in Bucharest said on Tuesday.
