新西兰的通胀率在9月上升至3.0%, 原因是电费、房租和食品费用上涨, 但基本通胀率却维持在2.5%左右, New Zealand's inflation rose to 3.0% in September, driven by higher electricity, rent, and food costs, but underlying inflation held near 2.5%, signaling a potential rate cut in November.

新西兰的通货膨胀在9月季度上升到每年3.0%,是2024年6月以来最高的,原因是电力、住房费率、租金和食品价格急剧上涨。 Inflation in New Zealand rose to 3.0% annually in the September quarter, the highest since June 2024, driven by sharp increases in electricity, housing rates, rent, and food prices. 电价逐年上涨11.3%,是1980年代后期以来最大的涨幅。 Electricity prices surged 11.3% year-on-year, the largest rise since the late 1980s. 尽管如此,基本通货膨胀率仍然接近2.5%,这支持了对即将到来的利率削减的预期。 Despite the uptick, underlying inflation held near 2.5%, supporting expectations of a forthcoming interest rate cut. 食品通胀略有减缓,降至4.1%,月食品价格自2月以来首次下跌。 Food inflation eased slightly to 4.1%, and monthly food prices dropped for the first time since February. 经济学家认为,通货膨胀可能已经达到顶峰,预计全球商品下降将缓解国内成本。 Economists suggest inflation may have peaked, with global commodity declines expected to ease domestic costs. 储备银行很可能在11月削减官方现金利率,可能低于2.25%。 The Reserve Bank is likely to cut the official cash rate in November, possibly below 2.25%. 克里斯托弗·卢克松总理强调,目前的通货膨胀和利率低于上届政府,而家庭预算仍然紧张,半数新西兰人削减了新产品采购。 Prime Minister Christopher Luxon highlighted that current inflation and interest rates are lower than under the previous government, while household budgets remain strained, with half of New Zealanders cutting fresh produce purchases.
