Which products lead the dance of increases
Based on the data of Hellenic Statistical Authority-ELSTAT, eggs and dairy products had an increase of 23.1% in March, i.e. almost 5 times above the average inflation. In February the increase registered by ELSTAT for the same products was 25.2%, in January 25% and in December 25.6%.
Bread and cereal prices rose by 15.6% in March, compared to an increases of 16.8% in February, 18.6% in January and 18.7% in December 2022. Edible fats and oils saw price increases in March by 17.5%, compared to an increase of 22.9% in February, 23.1% in January and 21.7% in December 2022.
At the same time, meat prices increased by 19.8% in March compared to an increase of 20% in February, 19.3% in January and 17.8% in December. Given that there is a phase difference in food pricing – we recall that the increases have been slow to pass through to the market compared to the increase in energy prices – it will almost certainly take several more months for consumers to see the first substantial price cuts in the supermarket purchases.
