Ornua’s PPI for November takes a hit
Ornua’s Purchase Price Index (PPI) has taken a hit for the month of November, reducing to 115 percentage points – down from 116.4 for October.
While still higher than September’s figure of 114.3, Ornua’s recent announcement nonetheless brings an end to six consecutive monthly increases in 2017.
