New Zealand labor market shows improvement
"New Zealand Q4 labor market data showed an improving job market and contained wage pressures."
"The unemployment rate unexpectedly increased 0.1pts to 5.4% (consensus & RBNZ forecast: 5.3%), the highest since Q3 2015. But it was for good reasons as more people entered the labor force."
"There’s still significant spare capacity in the New Zealand economy, with the output gap projected to average -1.1% of potential GDP over 2026 vs. -1.6% in 2025."
