Prices in New Zealand rose by 1.72 percent in 2020. Central bankers at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand were surely relieved to see the rebound from the dangerously low .29 percent inflation in 2015.

What is inflation?

Inflation is the rise in price levels in an economy. 2 percent inflation means 100 New Zealand dollars will be worth 98 dollars in one year. While the precise inflation target varies, most economists agree that inflation between 2 to 3 percent is optimal for an economy. High inflation can lead to higher unemployment because firms would rather wait and higher workers at the same price using future dollars, making the labor relatively cheaper. However, it affects the trade balance because of the relatively higher purchasing power of foreign currencies.

Other risks of inflation and deflation

Inflation helps a country with higher national debt when the debt is in the local currency, because the country can repay with the future dollars which are relatively cheaper. Deflation, then, helps when debts are in a foreign currency. The main problem with deflation is that investors prefer to hold their money, waiting to invest until it is worth more. This is particularly true of countries like New Zealand, where the lion’s share of employment is in the services sector.

The Financial Asset Investing industry's revenue is largely dictated by the performance of domestic and international financial markets. Volatility in global financial markets due to the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict has contributed to a decline in confidence. Industry revenue is expected to fall at an annualised 3.2% over the five years through 2023-24, to total $31.1 billion. This trend includes an anticipated uptick of 0.1% in the current year. Industry revenue has been highly volatile, with sharemarket performance remaining relatively weak due to the pandemic. As a result, profitability has trended downwards. Despite this decline, industry participation has jumped, as asset investing becomes more popular among consumers and businesses, including investments in riskier assets like domestic and international equities. To curb inflation, the RBNZ has repeatedly raised its official cash rate, resulting in a 14-year high in cash rates and a surge in interest rates in New Zealand. Rising interest rates have sparked interest in longer term debt securities due to their higher yield, which is more enticing for investors. This has somewhat offset the decline in industry revenue. Industry revenue is forecast to grow moving forwards. A strong economic recovery following the pandemic and easing global concerns are projected to drive revenue growth, as investors are more eager to take on higher risk. Forecast rate cuts are set to stimulate stock market performance. Instead of longer term debt securities like bonds, investors will start gravitating towards equities as yields gradually decline. Other factors set to drive growth include lower revenue volatility and a rise in industry assets contributing to growing investment returns. Technology will continue to play a key role in the Financial Asset Investing industry. Fintech advancements, like chatbots and robo-advisors, are set to enhance profitability in the coming years by automating tasks and reducing reliance on administrative labour. However, firms will likely face stronger competition for funds from superannuation funds and KiwiSaver schemes. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to grow at an annualised 3.3% over the five years through 2028-29, to reach $36.5 billion.
