यह क्यों मायने रखता है
Wages are the largest cost for service businesses, so wage growth well above productivity growth turns into lasting inflation. Central banks watch it to judge whether inflation will return to target; strong wage growth tends to keep the Reserve Bank of New Zealand hawkish.
गणना कैसे होती है
Pay data come from employer surveys, tax records or collective agreements; the release usually shows the change from a year earlier. Labour cost indexes include employers' social contributions and benefits.
Wage growth (yoy) = average pay ÷ average pay a year ago − 1
Real wage growth ≈ wage growth − inflationबदलावों का अर्थ
- Wage growth of about 3–3.5% is roughly consistent with 2% inflation when productivity grows about 1%.
- Compositional effects (low-paid workers losing jobs) can lift the average misleadingly.
उम्मीद से ज़्यादा: A higher figure than expected makes the Reserve Bank of New Zealand more likely to keep rates high or raise them: it tends to support the New Zealand dollar and push bond yields up, and is often a weight on stocks.
उम्मीद से कम: A lower figure than expected gives the Reserve Bank of New Zealand room to cut or hold rates lower: the New Zealand dollar tends to soften and bond yields to fall.
संक्षिप्त इतिहास
The link between wages and inflation was described by A. W. Phillips in 1958 (the Phillips curve); it has weakened and strengthened over the decades but remains central to central-bank thinking.
New Zealand was the first country to adopt formal inflation targeting, in 1990.
