Three months ago, the annual inflation rate was 3% - at the very top end of the Reserve Bank's target range. Economists expect it now to be between 2.9 and 3.1%. Economist Cameron Bagrie told Andrew Dickens inflation is looking to be a little bit sticky towards the top end of the target zone. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
