No respite for inflation. According to data published, Thursday, February 2, by the IRI Study Company, which scrutinizes the purchases of consumers at the exit from the stores of the stores, the food prices experienced a new hot stroke in January. She estimates that they increased on an average of 13.85 % compared to January 2022, thus approaching the 14 % mark. On all consumer products, including hygiene and maintenance products, the increase is 13.73 %.

“Inflation continues to climb in January and earns more than one in relation to that of December. This increase can be explained by applications in negotiated price stores, but which have not yet been down to the Labels and also by increases from the distributors themselves, which until then had mainly passed the increases in industrialists but not their own costs, “comments Emily Mayer, Business Iri France director. It adds: “The increase is visible on all types of brands, but more clearly and more strongly on the first prices and distributor brands.”
