FX.co ★ New Zealand PPI Input Inches Up in Q2

In the second quarter of 2025, New Zealand experienced a 0.6% increase in producer input prices compared to the previous quarter, which had seen a 2.9% rise. This growth was primarily driven by a 3.5% hike in the costs associated with electricity, gas, water, and waste services. Additionally, the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector, along with retail trade and accommodation, each saw a 1.2% increase. These widespread increases across various sectors effectively elevated overall input costs, indicating consistent underlying price pressures.
