What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman discussed the economic outlook during a visit to Dunedin. She noted that the South Island economy was showing signs of growth, supported by resilient exports, a lower unemployment rate, and a stronger housing market. However, Breman warned that near-term inflation could be higher than previously forecast if global oil price increases persist.
