EMBARGOED: 10th December 2008: Ireland is becoming a more expensive place to live and shop. Despite the prices of many consumer items falling in the last year, a global study has found that Ireland has gone from the sixth most expensive place in the world in 2007 to the fourth in 2008.
Now in its sixth year, the International Price Comparison study from PriceRunner.co.uk, the impartial price comparison service, tracks the prices of basic foods such as milk and coffee, popular consumer gadgets and travel and entertainment goods like petrol, bus tickets and DVDs. Carried out in 23 countries, it shows that Ireland is now more expensive than Sweden (5), Finland (6) and England (7). Norway is revealed as the world’s most expensive country for the second year running and China remains the cheapest country overall.
*please see notes to editors for full country listings
Prices on essentials such as condoms and nappies have fallen in Ireland but not as much as the rest of the world. Ireland is officially the most expensive place to have sex, with condoms costing more in Ireland than anywhere else. A packet of 12 Durex will set you back a whopping €11.04 compared to just €7.93 in the UK, nappies also cost more than the UK with an average pack costing €7.82 in Ireland compared to €6.22. The study also reveals that a litre of milk has increased in price, rising from €0.81 in 2007 to €0.87 this year.
There’s good news however for Irish gamers, a Nintendo Wii now costs €221.00, down from €269.96 in 2007. A PS3 has also become more affordable at €355.93, down by €147.39 from last year, suggesting that if you didn’t get one for Christmas in 2007, you might stand a good chance if you add it to your Christmas list for 2008.
Norway remains the most expensive place in the world for a bottle of Absolut Vodka 70cl. It will set you back a staggering €28.06 in Norway compared to just €6.17 in China, a difference of 78%. A bottle of Absolut will cost you on average €20.46 on the Emerald Isle. Visitors to Norway are also advised to avoid soft drinks, cigarettes and fast food, with Norway topping the poll on a sixth of the 24 items researched and coming close to the top of the list for most of the others.
Peter Carlsson, General Manager, PriceRunner.co.uk, said: “Whilst Ireland’s individual prices have decreased, overall it has become more expensive than in 2007. With the recently announced increase in VAT to 21.5% on certain goods, the Irish are being squeezed further, Ireland looks set to stay an expensive place to live and shop.”
With Christmas just a few weeks away, trips to the US could prove particularly fruitful if you’re planning on grabbing the latest gadgets. A Canon Powershot G9 digital camera is cheapest in the US, costing just €311.13, however the same camera in Denmark will set you back a bank-breaking €487.70, and a whopping €448.785 in the UK, 30.7% more than the US.
Mp3 players are also cheapest in America, with a 16GB iPod touch costing just €199.20 compared to a jaw dropping €272.18 in Lithuania, a sizeable difference of 26.6%. The study also advises consumers to avoid Lithuania for games consoles as you risk paying up to 63.5% more, a Nintento Wii will set you back € 458.41 compared to just €166.71 in the Big Apple. The study found that overall the price of games consoles globally seems to have plummeted in the last 12 months.

Where possible, three prices were collected for each product and the mean average was used as the country’s price for the product. No less than two prices per product per country have been used, with the exception of those products where prices are standardized, e.g. alcohol in Sweden or McDonalds. Prices, in most cases were collected from multiple-outlet retailer stores, to ensure that they are as closely representative of each country’s typical prices as possible.

PriceRunner.co.uk is today announcing its decision to bring together its European teams under one leader. Formally, Company Manager for PriceRunner Sweden, Peter Carlsson has now been appointed as General Manager for the impartial price comparison site.
Carlsson has held commercial and general management roles for PriceRunner since 2004, when he first joined PriceRunner Sweden as European Sales Director. In 2005, Peter was then promoted to Country Manager for the Nordic region for ValueClick, where he has been responsible for the overseeing of the Nordic operations for PriceRunner, Commission Junction and ValueClick Media.
In his post in Sweden, Carlsson has been vital in the successful implementation of Commission Junction and ValueClick Media divisions in the Nordic regions; Sweden and Denmark. All three businesses, namely PriceRunner, have developed considerably over the last three years and have almost doubled in revenue as a result.
Carl White, CEO, ValueClick Europe, comments, “The timing is now right to bring the European teams together under one leader. This will help us to focus and co-ordinate our commercial and marketing activities right across Europe. Peter has earned great respect from all the country teams so this is a natural progression to take PriceRunner forward as a whole, and we will particularly benefit from his expert knowledge in the UK.”
Talking about his appointment, Carlsson comments, “Both in UK and Sweden we have worked hard to develop the sites by listening to our consumers, constantly adding in new categories according to public interest. I’m looking forward to leveraging on what we do best in each the respective country and together with our UK team take PriceRunner to the same market leader position we have in Sweden. PriceRunner has carved a distinctive position amongst consumers for always finding the lowest price irrespective of commercial influences.”
Mattias Berg leaves PriceRunner this month to move onto new ventures. White comments, “We wish Mattias all the best in the future and thank him for his successes in this time at PriceRunner.”
