Base: June 2006 = 1000. From September 1999 the index excludes interest charges and section prices. Source:  HYPERLINK "http://www.stats.govt.nz/" Statistics New Zealand. CPI target measure Underlying inflation until the September 1997 quarter, CPIX inflation through to the June 1999 quarter, then CPI inflation from the September 1999 quarter. CPI Inflation has been adjusted by Statistics New Zealand to exclude interest and section prices from the September 1999 quarter to the June 2000 quarter. Tradables inflation This series is calculated by Statistics New Zealand and comprises all those goods and services in the CPI that are imported or that are in competition with foreign goods either in domestic or foreign markets. Data prior to June 1999 has been backcast by RBNZ. Non-tradables inflation This series is created by Statistics New Zealand and comprises all those goods and services in the CPI that do not face foreign competition, e.g. government charges. Excludes interest rates. Data prior to June 1999 has been backcast by RBNZ. CPI inflation less housing non-tradable items This series is created by the Reserve Bank and excludes from the CPI non-tradable housing related CPI items (including rates and insurance). Non-tradable inflation less housing items This series is created by the Reserve Bank and excludes from non-tradable inflation housing related items (including rates and insurance). Petrol prices The petrol price component of the CPI. Trimmed mean inflation From March 2001 quarterly percentage changes, and from December 2001 annual percentage change trimmed mean figures are those published by Statistics New Zealand. Note that the figures quoted prior to those dates are RBNZ estimates. Users should note that the SNZ estimates may differ slightly from those previously calculated and published by the Reserve Bank due to some differences in methodology. Additional data and technical notes are available on  HYPERLINK "http://www.stats.govt.nz/" Statistics New Zealand's website. Trimmed mean inflation is the weighted mean inflation rate after trimming 5 per cent from each end of the distribution of price changes in the individual components of the CPI, when the price changes are ranked from lowest to highest. Quarterly and annual trimmed means SNZs quarterly trimmed mean inflation rate is calculated from the distribution of quarter-to-quarter inflation rates in the CPI items. In contrast, the annual trimmed mean inflation rate is calculated from the distribution of item level annual price changes (the change from one quarter in a given year to the same quarter of the following year). Because the annual and quarterly trimmed means presented here are calculated from distributions of price changes that are calculated over different intervals (one quarterly, the other annual), the annual measure cannot simply be inferred from the quarterly measure. That is, the annual trimmed mean here is not equal to the quarterly trimmed mean inflation rate, compounded over 4 quarters. The annual trimmed mean comes directly from the behaviour of the annual inflation rates in the CPI items over time. In contrast, the quarterly trimmed mean comes from the behaviour of the quarterly inflation rates in the CPIs components over time. Sectorial factor model This series is created by the Reserve Bank. It estimates the common component of inflation in the CPI basket based upon separate factors for the tradable and non-tradable sectors. For more technical information see Kirker, M (2010)  HYPERLINK "http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/research/discusspapers/dp2010.html" What drives core inflation? A dynamic factor model analysis of tradable and non-tradable prices, Reserve Bank of New Zealand Discussion paper 2010/13. Factor model This series is created by the Reserve Bank. It is a dynamic factor model that estimates the common component of inflation from all the CPI classes for which we have data going back to the beginning of 1992. Ninety six of the 105 classes currently in the CPI are included. For more technical information see Giannone, D and T Matheson (2006)  HYPERLINK "http://www.rbnz.govt.nz/research/discusspapers/index.html" A New Core Inflation Measure for New Zealand, Reserve Bank of New Zealand Discussion Paper 2006/10. Weighted median inflation From March 2001 quarterly percentage changes, and from December 2001 annual percentage change weighted median figures are those published by Statistics New Zealand. Note that the figures quoted prior to those dates are RBNZ estimates. Users should note that the SNZ estimates may differ slightly from those previously calculated and published by the Reserve Bank due to some differences in methodology. Additional data and technical notes are available on  HYPERLINK "http://www.stats.govt.nz/" Statistics New Zealand's website. Weighted median inflation is the 50th percentile by weight of the distribution of price changes in the individual components of the CPI, when the price changes are ranked from lowest to highest. In other words, the weighted median inflation rate is the inflation rate for the item or group of items that is in the middle of the total distribution. In any period, then, half of the components of the CPI regimen (by their weight in the regimen) exhibit lower inflation rates than the weighted median, and the other half show higher inflation rates. Thus the weighted median places zero weight on prices that change by relatively large and relatively small amounts in a given period. Put more technically, the weighted median inflation rate is the inflation rate associated with the weighted 50th percentile of the ranked distribution of price changes in a given period. Quarterly and annual weighted medians SNZs quarterly weighted median inflation rate is calculated from the distribution of quarter-to-quarter inflation rates in the CPI items. In contrast, the annual weighted median inflation rate is calculated from the distribution of item level annual price changes (the change from one quarter in a given year to the same quarter of the following year). Because the annual and quarterly weighted medians presented here are calculated from distributions of price changes that are calculated over different intervals (one quarterly, the other annual), the annual measure cannot simply be inferred from the quarterly measure. That is, the annual weighted median here is not equal to the quarterly weighted median inflation rate, compounded over 4 quarters. The annual weighted median comes directly from the behaviour of the annual inflation rates in the CPI items over time. In contrast, the quarterly weighted median comes from the behaviour of the quarterly inflation rates in the CPIs components over time. CPI less food, petrol & Government charges This series is created by the Reserve Bank. It is Statistics New Zealand All Groups CPI excluding the food group, petrol copmponent and central and local government charges. Central and local government charges currently includes items such as Housing NZ and local authority rentals, land transfer registrationfee, local authority rates, water supply and part of refuse disposal, electricity, prescription charges and oral contraception, general practitioner fees, vehicle relicensing fees, road user charges, driver licensing fees, postage, state and integrated school donations and fees, university and polytechnic fees, and cheque duty. CPI less energy and fuel This series is created by the Reserve Bank. It is Statistics New ZealandAll Groups CPI excluding the household energy subgroup and vehicle fuels. GDP deflator This implicit price deflator is derived from Statistics New Zealand's expenditure GDP data and is calculated by dividing real expenditure GDP by nominal expenditure GDP.
