AI summary
Inflation is a rise in average prices, causing your money to lose value. It's measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is typically caused by demand-pull (strong consumer demand) or cost-pull (higher production costs) factors.
High inflation can reduce investment values and lead to higher interest rates from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, which aims for a 1-3% target. Annual inflation was 2.2% in December 2024 and is forecast to return to the 2% target by mid-2026.
