New Zealand Input PPI Rises 2.9% in Q2, Output Prices Up 1.6%
<\/h4>\n

New Zealand producer price pressures accelerated sharply in Q2, with input PPI rising 2.9% q\/q from 1.4% in Q1, more than double 1.3% consensus. Output PPI also strengthened, rising 1.6% from 0.8%, twice 0.8% expected. Stats NZ said producers faced higher costs for inputs including fuel, power and raw materials.<\/p>\n

The gap between input and output prices was particularly notable. Producers\u2019 costs rose almost twice as fast as prices received for their goods and services, pointing to potential pressure on margins if firms are unable to pass those increases through. Consumer prices rose 1.5% q\/q over the same period, slightly below output PPI and well below input-cost growth.<\/p>\n

Cost pressures were broader across the economy. Farm Expenses Price Index rose 3.8% q\/q, while Capital Goods Price Index increased 1.8%. Overall, Q2 data show a clear reacceleration in upstream inflation, with key question now whether businesses continue absorbing higher costs or increasingly pass them into final prices.<\/p>\n
