-- ニュージーランド統計局が金曜日に発表した主要物価指数報告書によると、3月のガソリンとディーゼル燃料の価格は前月比でそれぞれ約19%、43%上昇した。 3月のガソリンとディーゼル燃料の価格上昇率は、1月と2月に両燃料価格が下落した後、ニュージーランド統計局が2011年7月に自動車燃料価格の月次データ公表を開始して以来最大となった。 食料品価格は3月に前月比0.6%下落した。これは主に果物と野菜が2.9%、食料品が0.8%下落したことによるもので、キウイフルーツ、板チョコレート、チェダーチーズ、牛ひき肉が下落に最も大きく寄与した。 国内航空運賃は3月に約14%下落したが、国際航空運賃は2月比で3.5%上昇した。 「旅行者は通常、航空券を事前に予約・支払いするため、価格変動は最大12か月前に設定された運賃を反映しています」と、物価・デフレーター担当のニコラ・グローデン報道官は述べています。 3月の食料品価格は前年同月比3.4%上昇しました。これは、2月までの12か月間の4.5%上昇と比較すると低い水準です。主な要因は、肉、鶏肉、魚介類の価格が7.3%上昇したことと、レストランや調理済み食品の価格が2.8%上昇したことです。 ガソリンとディーゼル燃料の価格は、3月までの12か月間でそれぞれ約14%と37%上昇しました。

Annual Inflation in New Zealand Expected to Slow to 2.9% in Q1, ANZ Research Says
Annual inflation in New Zealand is to expected slow by 0.2 percentage points in the March quarter to 2.9%, slightly higher than the previous forecast of 2.8% but slightly lower than the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) April forecast of 3%, ANZ Research said in a note on Friday.The first quarter consumer price index data, scheduled to be released on April 21, will capture some initial impacts from the Middle East conflict, but inflationary effects will be more pronounced in the second quarter. If the sharp rise in fuel prices are sustained around current levels, the June quarter consumer price index will record a much larger quarterly rise.The bank expects the core inflation indicators to remain within the 1% to 3% target band, with the weighted median, 30% trimmed mean, and ex‑food, fuel and energy measures expected to land within a 0.3% band around 2%.It is reasonable to assume that uncertainty around the medium-term inflation outlook will be the monetary policy committee's main focus in May, ANZ said.
