Residential rentals - of course - suffer the same impact as commercial.
In this thread, there was some discussion about commercial rental rate reviews.
Further, in another long-ago thread, we had a discussion about real inflation versus the official fantasy figures. Part of that discussion was that - because the CPI figure had an adverse impact on government costs via pension and benefit inflation adjustments, it was kept artificially low by a number of dubious, yet legal dodges.
Back then (now, too) we needed a figure that was real. We came up with a formula. Take the 'official' CPI, multiply by two and then add two and that was close to reality.
In recent times, it also seems that the 'official' figures are not only a fantasy, but also very late in being published. I could - but wont - speculate on why.
All that preamble leads me on to the singular question:
What - in your opinion - is the real rate of inflation for NZ, for 2018?
And how did you come by that figure?
