Notes:<br />

1. See article entitled ‘‘Measuring Ireland’s Price and Labour Cost Competitiveness’’ in the Bank’s <strong>Quarterly</strong> <strong>Bulletin</strong> No. 1 of 2010.<br />

2. A rise in an indicator implies a disimprovement in competitiveness, while a fall in an indicator implies an improvement.<br />

3. These indicators are available from January 1995 in excel format on the Bank’s website.<br />

4. Real HCIs may be subject to revisions to reflect latest available price data.
