Show Notes
There's some hope that supplier costs to supermarkets will soon show signs of easing.
The Infometrics-Foodstuffs New Zealand Grocery Supplier Cost Index shows a 10% increase in what suppliers charged supermarkets for goods in April.
We've seen increases of 10% or more for the past six months.
Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says this reflects suppliers themselves are facing very high input price pressures.
He says we're starting to see some signs of possibly less intense cost pressures, but they are remaining high for now.
