Forfás Consumer Pricing Report 2003: Statements.
I accept that inflation is a problem and that all businesses are affected by inflationary pressures. The disequilibrium between our inflation level and levels elsewhere in Europe has the potential to undermine our internationally traded sectors, in particular, and put at risk employment and growth. I, therefore, welcome the sharp decrease in annual inflation to 3.7% in May.
