What is inflation in NZ

AI summary
Inflation is a rise in average prices, reducing your money's buying power. It's measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is caused by either strong consumer demand (demand-pull) or increased production costs (cost-pull).
High inflation can devalue investments and lead to higher interest rates as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand works to keep it within its 1-3% target range. Forecasts suggest inflation will return to the 2% target midpoint by mid-2026.
