Inflation continues its trend of recent months, namely that it is falling. Prices continue to rise, but less quickly. In December, inflation was calculated at 8.1% while it was still at 9.4% for the month of November and especially at 20% in March.
The products that were most exposed to this price increase were vegetables: +20%. While meat is the product that has increased the least (+3%).
In detail, here are the top 3 foods which increased the most in December 2023 compared to December 2022:
- Onions: +46%
- Ketchup: +30%
- Carrots: +27%
A top three identical to that of November.
But if we take a step back a little further, we see inflation of almost 29% in two years, which is far from trivial for households. Furthermore, the drop in raw materials still does not have a sufficient impact on the prices charged to consumers, according to Testachats.
“When we analyze inflation over two years, the figures are dizzying“, reacts Julie Frère, spokesperson for Testachats, “basic products such as vegetables increased by more than 40%, while bread, a basic necessity par excellence, increased by more than 20%.“.
Conversely, there is good news and some products have seen their prices decrease!
This is the case for garlic butter (-6%), veal (-6%) and peppers purchased in mixed colors (-4%).
We can therefore say that galloping inflation is behind us, the price crisis is ending, but certain products should see their prices drop much more quickly than they are currently doing.
