That's a good question.
I'm going to have to, you know, actually calculate because when I go out and meet businesses around the country, sometimes I go and visit one firm and look at their plant and sometimes I do a lunch and then it could be maybe 30, 40 businesses at the same time.
So I don't have the exact number for you, but we do go and meet businesses.
quite a few businesses and it's also my colleagues and now you know some of my both the internal and external MPC members will join on some of the business visit and do their own business visits and then our staff also do regular calls and business with businesses so next time around I hope I can give you more of a precise number but it's important to us and we do get good information from meeting with them because like you say they do face different realities and
um and some of them expect especially those i mean i i am rather impressed by the way that the exporting firms have managed because the global environment is still as you know it's complicated it's uncertain and many are managing to find new customers around the world finding new markets they're investing in new technologies to increase their productivity so we're seeing some good signs of some very competitive firms in new zealand
And we want to see that broadening now to those who have also been struggling.
Yes, I am.
And I also agree that it's nice to see that resilience and seeing these firms all around New Zealand.
They know it's a tough environment, but they're forward looking.
They're thinking like we're going to find our way through this.
And that seems to be paying off.
You know, I met some of the firms recently.
They're saying like, oh, we decided a few years ago that we need to look at broader markets.
Where can we go and not be so dependent on one supplier, not be so dependent on one client?
And then when the world is being difficult as it is right now, that strategy is paying off.
And I think that shows the strength of the country that we have those firms.
And that's really helping the economy right now because they are keeping up overall the growth.
And it has been weak and what we want to see now.
You know, our mandate is really to bring inflation down.
But I do want to stress that bringing inflation down will, in the end, help households.
