Will you raise your rates?

[Ty Korrigan]

As the cost of living rises, are you too considering raising your rates?

Here in France, wholesale electricity prices have risen to eye watering levels

The public are insulated against this but the evening news reported that bills may double in 2022 for households and small businesses whilst large businesses are not protected from price rises and must shoulder the cost.

Reports of businesses cutting hours or evening in the case of a large saw mill, giving EDF the bird and investing in a diesel generator. 

There are the vagaries of gas and oil supply too.

Diesel was down to 1.05euros per litre a year ago and is now hovering around 1.50

All products that rely on electricity in their manufacture are effected of course.

Bread doubly so with poor harvests world wide and it being cooked largely in electric ovens.

Pasta, butter, all vegetables due to the ban of plastic packaging, continious reports of shortages, price rises across the board.

Minimum wage rises here by a measily 11 euros net per month though many employers are facing staff shortages have been forced to up their offers often by several hundred euros per month in order to attract staff.

Ikea are raising their prices by 9% so I'll need to work harder still to keep Mrs Lee away from there.

Me? well I have too much work booked in and a price hike might help reduce my lead times.

I was in the butcher's last week and a customer was in moaning that the prices had gone up. I wondered what world she'd been living in of late? I felt sorry for the fella at the counter having to try and justify it.
