Retail in New Zealand

The high cost of living remained a key barrier to retail expenditure in New Zealand over 2024. Prices were elevated despite easing inflation, with the annual rate falling back within the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's target range. Supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions have also elevated costs. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand actively raised the interest rate to combat inflation, which has helped ease prices.
