Statistician's Comment

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (08 December 2022) published the Consumer Price Index November 2022.

Commenting on annual changes shown in the release, Anthony Dawson, Statistician in the Prices Division said: “The latest publication for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows that prices for consumer goods and services in November 2022 increased by 8.9% on average compared with November 2021, down from 9.2% in the 12 months to October 2022. Prices have been rising on an annual basis since April 2021, with annual inflation of 5.0% or more recorded in each month since October 2021.

Annual Changes

The most significant increases in the year were seen in Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels which was up 27.1% and Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages, which rose by 11.2%. Increased energy costs are reflected in the yearly increase of Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels with electricity up 63.5%, gas up 88.7%, liquid fuels (home heating oil) up 57.1% and solid fuels up 46.8% in the year. The annual change in Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages costs reflects a rise in prices across a range of products such as fresh whole milk (+32.7%), sugar (+24.8%), butter (+23.0%), eggs (+20.8%) and bread (+17.7%) compared with November 2021.

Education (-7.1%) and Miscellaneous Goods & Services (-0.2%) were the only divisions to show a decrease when compared with November 2021.

Monthly Changes

Consumer prices in November increased by 0.3% in the month. During November of last year, prices rose by 0.6% in the month. The most significant monthly price changes were increases in Clothing & Footwear (+1.9%) and Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages (+0.7%). Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages increased due to higher prices across a range of products such as such as meat, bread & cereals, milk, cheese & eggs and vegetables.

Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco (-0.4%) and Education (-0.4%) were the only divisions to show a decrease when compared to October 2022.

It should be noted that these figures relate to the CPI. The flash estimate published on 30 November 2022 was related to the EU Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP)."

The National Average Prices for selected goods and services for November are also published today. The National Average Prices are compiled together with the CPI. Commenting on the National Average Prices, Anthony Dawson said: “The National Average Price of a number of items rose in November 2022. There were price increases for an 800g loaf of white/brown sliced pan (+28c), 2 litres of full fat milk (+55c), and a pound of butter (+77c) when compared with November 2021.” The comprehensive list of items included in the National Average Prices and their monthly prices are available at: https://data.cso.ie/table/CPM12.

Contributions to the Overall CPI

Annual Change

Table 3 shows the contribution of each 2-digit COICOP¹ division to the overall change in the CPI. A detailed breakdown of the individual components of each of the 12 COICOP divisions is presented in Tables 4 to 15.

The divisions which caused the largest upward contribution to the CPI in the year were Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels (+4.46%), Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages (+1.28%), Restaurants & Hotels (+1.15%) and Transport (+1.09%).

The divisions which caused the largest downward contribution to the CPI in the year were Education (-0.13%) and Miscellaneous Goods & Services (-0.03%).

The main factors contributing to the annual change were as follows:

Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas & Other Fuels rose mainly due to an increase in the cost of electricity, gas, liquid fuels (home heating oil), solid fuels, higher rents and mortgage interest repayments.
Food & Non-Alcoholic Beverages increased due to higher prices across a range of products such as meat, bread & cereals, milk, cheese & eggs and vegetables.
Restaurants & Hotels rose mainly due to higher prices for alcoholic drinks and food consumed in licensed premises, restaurants, cafes etc. and an increase in the cost of hotel accommodation.
Transport increased primarily due to a rise in prices for motor cars, diesel, petrol and services in respect of personal transport equipment. This increase was partially offset by lower prices for passenger transport by bus & coach and airfares.
Education fell mainly due to a reduction in costs associated with participating in third level education.
Miscellaneous Goods & Services decreased primarily due to a reduction in prices for motor insurance premiums, health insurance premiums and jewellery. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in prices for articles & products for personal care, hairdressing salons and house insurance premiums.
