Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): As I've said a number of times in the House, I acknowledge that 2022 is a challenging year for New Zealand businesses and households. Forecasts of economic growth this year have been pared back, but they do remain positive as New Zealand deals with Omicron, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the ongoing disruption of the pandemic on global supply chains. As I mentioned yesterday to the member, we are in a strong position to be able to continue to support New Zealanders through this uncertainty. As to the second part of the question, there are a wide range of reasons for why inflation is at a particular level, in a particular country, including at what stage of the pandemic each country is at. I would note that, looking at the December quarter numbers, the two countries' inflation rates are not dissimilar, with New Zealand at 1.4 percent and Australia at 1.3 percent.
