Superannuitant households experience highest inflation – Media release
29 October 2021
Of the 13 different household groups measured in the household living-costs price indexes (HLPIs), inflation in the September 2021 quarter was highest for superannuitant households, mainly due to higher prices for food, housing and household utilities, and transport, Stats NZ said today.
Inflation for the superannuitant household group was 2.2 percent in the September 2021 quarter, compared with 1.5 percent for beneficiary households, which experienced the lowest inflation. Each quarter, the HLPIs calculate how inflation affects 13 different household groups.
Food inflation for superannuitants was 3.3 percent in the September 2021 quarter, compared with 2.7 percent for the all households group, and 2.4 percent for beneficiary households.
