Wholesale prices in Ireland fell 2.6% year-on-year in September 2025, easing from a 3.0% decline in the previous month. This marked the eighth consecutive month of deflation, although the pace of decline has softened over the past four months, as prices rose faster for food products (4.5% vs 4.4% in August), alongside softer declines in mining and quarrying (-1.6% vs -1.7%) and in manufacturing industries excluding food (-2.6% vs -3%), driven in particular by faster growth in other non-metallic mineral products (1.8% vs 1.1%) and in paper and paper products (0.9% vs 0.8%). On a monthly basis, wholesale prices edged down 0.4% in September, following a flat reading in August.
