Statistician's Comment

Commenting on the release, Jillian Delaney, Statistician in the Prices Division, said: "Wholesale and producer prices continued to rise in most categories in July 2022. Producer prices in several food categories were significantly higher in July 2022 compared with the same month last year.

Outputs from Irish manufacturers also increased in price in several other categories. See Table 2.

Monthly manufacturing factory gate prices increased by 2.4% in July 2022, the same increase for July of last year. The annual percentage change rose by 6.2% in July 2022, the same increase in the year to June 2022. See Table 1 and Figure 1.

In the year there was a rise of 9.5% in respect of the price index for home sales, and an increase of 6.0% in the price index for export sales, which can be influenced by currency fluctuations. In the month, the price index for export sales was up 2.4%, while the index for home sales was also up by 2.4%. See Table 2 and Figure 2.

The All Materials Index for construction products rose by 3.8% in the month and 20.6% in the year. See Table 3.''

Wholesale prices for construction products increased by 20.6% in the year

Notable annual increases in construction products include:

Other Timber, Other (this includes treated wooden products) 109.6%

The Building and Construction index (i.e. Materials and Wages) increased by 2.2% in the month and 12.1% in the year. This index combines the All Materials Index with a measure of the change in wages in the construction sector to provide an overall index for input construction costs. See Table 4.

Electricity prices rose by 86.3% annually

There was an increase in the price of wholesale electricity in July, with prices 47.0% higher than the previous month.
