Statistician's Comment

Commenting on the release, Jillian Delaney, Statistician in the Prices Division, said: ''Wholesale electricity prices dropped by 52% in October 2022. This comes after a previous large monthly drop of 26.9% in September. Electricity costs on the wholesale market are now lower than any time during the past 12 months, and 36.6% lower than in October 2021. The last time that prices were lower than the current rate was in August 2021. See Table 5.

Producer prices in several food categories were significantly higher in October 2022 compared with the same month last year. Outputs from Irish manufacturers also increased in price in several other categories. See Table 2.

Manufacturing factory gate prices rose by 8.0% in the 12 months to October 2022, compared with an increase of 6.1% in the 12 months to September 2022. There was an increase in manufacturing factory gate prices of 2.0% between September 2022 and October 2022, compared with an increase of 0.2% for the same period last year. See Table 1 and Figure 1.

In the 12 months to October 2022 there was a rise of 10.3% in the price index for home sales, and an increase of 7.7% 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 2.1%, while the index for home sales was up by 1.0%. See Table 2 and Figure 2.

The All Materials Index for construction products rose by 1.3% in the month and by 16.1% in the year. See Table 3.''

Wholesale prices for construction products increased by 16.1% over 12 months

Notable annual increases in construction products as shown in Table 3 include:

Structural Steel & Reinforcing Metal; Structural Steel; Fabricated Metal: 56.4%
Ready Mixed Mortar and Concrete: 31.8%
All Other Materials; Pipes & Fittings; PVC: 28.0%
All Other Materials; Plaster: 26.6%
Bituminous Macadam; Asphalt and Bituminous Emulsions; Bituminous Emulsions: 25.9%
All Other Materials; Plumbing Materials including Sanitary Ware: 25.8%

The Building and Construction index (i.e. Materials and Wages) increased by 0.8% in the month and by 9.9% in the 12 months to October 2022. 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.
