Nicola Willis: Finance Minister unveils plan to tackle inflation issues following CPI update

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

The Finance Minister says the Government has a plan to tackle non-tradeable inflation. CPI increased 3.3 percent in the year to June, a fall from the 4 percent rise in the year to March. Nicola Willis says things like higher rents are sticking around. She says they want to help push that inflation down with more housing supply. "That's what will ultimately push rents lower - and we are conducting significant reforms to ensure that more homes can be built more cheaply." Meanwhile, ANZ has already announced cuts to its home loan interest rates. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
