You have probably heard that prices are rising everywhere. We are also confronted with higher prices.
Steel has become considerably more expensive. There is also scarcity; there is more demand than supply.
Inflation this year will be quite high. Prices are expected to rise between 3.5% and 4% on average. The first price increases are already noticeable.
