Prices of imported goods fell slightly at the end of 2025, mainly influenced by energy and industrial products.

According to the data, the Import Price Index in the fourth quarter of 2025 reached 107.4, marking a 0.5% decrease compared with the same period in 2024.

The annual decline was mainly driven by lower prices in the electricity and gas sector (-4.1%), as well as in water supply, waste management and the extractive industry. The manufacturing industry, which accounts for around 94% of imports, recorded a slight decline of 0.3%.

Within manufacturing, the largest price decreases were recorded in metallurgy, rubber products and textiles. Meanwhile, some products registered price increases, including tobacco products, furniture and printing activities.

Compared with the third quarter of 2025, import prices showed small fluctuations: decreases were recorded in water supply and waste management, energy and the extractive industry, while the manufacturing sector recorded a minimal increase, mainly due to food processing and furniture production.

The data indicate a slight stabilization of the costs of imported goods at the end of 2025, with moderate price movements in key industrial sectors.
