How's the New Zealand economy?

Prices are rising 3.7% a year, just outside the Reserve Bank's 1 to 3% target band.

Unemployment is 5.7%, above its 20-year average of 4.9%. Jobs are harder to find than usual.

Prices are rising faster than pay (-1.6% a year), so most workers are going backwards.

Rents are rising 0.2% a year, a gentle pace.

The official cash rate is 2.75%. Borrowers are paying more than a few years ago, and savers are earning more.

Output per person grew 1.1% over the year. Growing, but only just once you count each person.
