Irish grocery price inflation eases to 1.4%: Kantar

Grocery price inflation has eased but is still running above the official rate of inflation across the economy, a major survey suggests.

The monthly snapshot by market research firm Kantar showed that prices across 30,000 grocery items bought by households in the Republic rose by an annual rate of over 1.4%. That was down from the 2% rate posted in early autumn and was much lower than the rate of over 3% of early summer when prices were climbing at their fastest since 2014.
