The sharp temporary increase thus remains an anomaly triggered by the shortage of supply. Prices for building materials, which are largely imported, were the main driver prior to the rise in interest rates, as the Drewry World Container Index shows. However, no price reductions are expected in 2024. The higher interest on borrowing is set to drive prices until mid-2024 at the latest. On top of this, additional planning requirements could potentially account for up to 2 percentage points of construction inflation.
