Some people are really investing in things that increase productivity.
And that means that they can get more output without needing to hike prices.
So there is differences.
And what we're looking for is
on average, it should not be too high.
And wage growth is still pretty subdued.
That's tough for households, but that's also why we need to get inflation down.
And some are affected by high cost pressures, some are less.
And for us, it's striking that balance to get towards that 2%.
It's not exactly 2%, but it's going in that direction and it's staying at a low and stable level.
Because we know it's also good for growth.
Low and stable inflation makes it easier for households and firms to plan to invest.
It means purchasing power is better.
And the sectors in New Zealand has been hurting for a while now.
The exporters are doing rather well, quite broadly.
But some of those smaller medium-sized firms are really dependent on the domestic demand.
They are the ones that have had a hard time, and they are also having a hard time because households have a hard time.
So getting inflation down will help with that purchasing power and that demand towards those small and medium-sized firms.
So what we're seeing is some parts of the economy are performing really quite well, and we want to see that growth broaden.
But bringing inflation down will help with seeing that broadening of growth in the New Zealand economy.
