No AN2014/05, Reserve Bank of New Zealand Analytical Notes series from Reserve Bank of New Zealand

Abstract: Imports make up a substantial proportion of what New Zealanders' spend, both directly, and through the imported inputs used in goods and services produced locally. This note uses input-output tables to estimate the total share of imports in the expenditure bases that lie behind two measures of consumer inflation, the CPI and the implicit deflator for household consumption expenditure.
