The national press has picked up on the notion of the ‘Ulster Fry Index’ for prices.
The Observer newspaper recently reported in its economics section on the prospect of Brexit causing a spike in the cost of the humble British fry.
A report by KPMG was cited as showing that a typical basket of ingredients for a family breakfast could rise by almost 13 per cent.
The report showed that prices had increased since last year’s Brexit vote, and that if the UK leaves the EU without a trade deal or transitional agreement, we can expect both higher prices and a huge spike in red tape at the borders.
