Commenting on the report, its author Ronan Lyons, economist said:
“2022 started with a continuation of the significant upward pressure on prices seen during the second half of 2020 and in 2021. However, the year ends with prices falling, albeit modestly, in the final quarter. While supply has increased, availability is still tight, indicating that the change in market conditions is more likely driven by a change in the strength of demand.”
