Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

they then come on top as "Supply Chain Disruption and Energy Cost Increase Surcharge" :rolleyes:

Possible. But I would point out that producer prices fell by about 4% each in October and November compared to the previous month. This could continue, and a few months later this "deflation" (haha) might work its way through to the customers. And then?

Those are of course the list prices again... The general contractor who orders concrete for 50 houses per year will be significantly below that... It will probably be like with aerated concrete

Relatively speaking, the general contractor will experience similar price increases for concrete. Even their best customer cannot be sold the goods without a margin or below cost price.

That can continue, yes. However, price adjustments at the bakery or supermarket do not reflect producer prices 1 to 1. Because the baker cannot simply make his bread rolls 50% more expensive, then no one would buy them anymore. In this respect, falling producer prices initially mean that the losses of the bakers decrease and not the prices for bread rolls. Energy costs also remain high and various unions have enforced wage increases in the range of 8% over 2 years, plus one-time payments equivalent to one month's salary. That means prices rise there in 2023/24, simply because wages are rising. With all due respect, I do not see much substance in your assumptions. Which also corresponds with the fact that no expert in this field expects deflation for 2023/24. On the contrary, in 2023 it will be 7% again.
