Transport and logistics costs affect final prices because changes in service tariffs and energy inputs are transmitted into production and distribution costs. This paper examines how road transport costs influence macroeconomic price formation through supply\u2011and\u2011demand mechanisms, focusing on the effects of fuel prices and demand for transport and logistics services on transport\u2011related price dynamics. The study uses monthly and quarterly secondary data from official sources: the Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHAS), the Statistical Office of the Republic of Srpska (RZS RS), the International Road Transport Union (IRU), Eurostat, and BIHAMK. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and a simple regression model (implemented in Excel) to assess the intensity and direction of the relationship between fuel prices and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Results indicate a statistically significant relationship between fuel prices and CPI movements, while several logistics variables could not be fully examined due to limitations in data availability and inconsistent time frequencies. Multiple regression was not applied for the same reasons. The model explains 55.6% of CPI variability (R\u00b2 = 0.556), highlighting transport costs as an important channel in macroeconomic price dynamics and motivating further empirical research with longer, frequency\u2011aligned logistics series.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c5f19e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c5f19e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords: CPI, PPI, road transport, transport costs, international economics<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dd494a wpr-logo-position-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpr-logo\" data-id=\"6dd494a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpr-logo.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpr-logo elementor-clearfix\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture class=\"wpr-logo-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tttp-au.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/cc-by-1.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wpr-logo-url\" rel=\"home\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/tttp-au.com\/\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wpr-logo-url\" rel=\"home\" aria-label=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/tttp-au.com\/\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb049d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"cb049d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"post-views content-post post-5083 entry-meta load-static\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Post Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">12<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-511d0df elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-full_width elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"511d0df\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0acee9c\" data-id=\"0acee9c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0e98b3 elementor-widget__width-inherit ha-has-bg-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c0e98b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Vol. 11 No. 1 (2026): TTTP -

Transport and logistics costs affect final prices because changes in service tariffs and energy inputs are transmitted into production and distribution costs. This paper examines how road transport costs influence macroeconomic price formation through supply\u2011and\u2011demand mechanisms, focusing on the effects of fuel prices and demand for transport and logistics services on transport\u2011related price dynamics. The study uses monthly and quarterly secondary data from official sources: the Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHAS), the Statistical Office of the Republic of Srpska (RZS RS), the International Road Transport Union (IRU), Eurostat, and BIHAMK. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and a simple regression model (implemented in Excel) to assess the intensity and direction of the relationship between fuel prices and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Results indicate a statistically significant relationship between fuel prices and CPI movements, while several logistics variables could not be fully examined due to limitations in data availability and inconsistent time frequencies.

Transport and logistics costs affect final prices because changes in service tariffs and energy inputs are transmitted into production and distribution costs. This paper examines how road transport costs influence macroeconomic price formation through supply\u2011and\u2011demand mechanisms, focusing on the effects of fuel prices and demand for transport and logistics services on transport\u2011related price dynamics. The study uses monthly and quarterly secondary data from official sources: the Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHAS), the Statistical Office of the Republic of Srpska (RZS RS), the International Road Transport Union (IRU), Eurostat, and BIHAMK. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and a simple regression model (implemented in Excel) to assess the intensity and direction of the relationship between fuel prices and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Results indicate a statistically significant relationship between fuel prices and CPI movements, while several logistics variables could not be fully examined due to limitations in data availability and inconsistent time frequencies. Multiple regression was not applied for the same reasons. The model explains 55.6% of CPI variability (R\u00b2 = 0.556), highlighting transport costs as an important channel in macroeconomic price dynamics and motivating further empirical research with longer, frequency\u2011aligned logistics series.
