Interview with Bruce Whitfield about Price Inflation
I spoke to Bruce Whitfield about ETM Analytics’ household price index inflation that has climbed by 9.2% from March 2013 to November 2013, an annualised rate of increase of 12.4%. This compares with the ‘official’ inflation rate of 5.5% year-on-year in October 2013. (I come in at around the 27 minute mark).

You can download the PowerPoint presentation at the link below – Thomson Reuters will make a video of my talk available sometime next week that I’ll link to as well.
