Max Whitehead: Small Business Voice NZ CEO says businesses are still feeling the pinch despite lowering inflation

A small business advocate says companies are still feeling the pinch despite lowering inflation.   The inflation rate in the year to September was 5.6%, lower than the 6% in the year to June.   Small Business Voice NZ Chief Executive Max Whitehead says while he's optimistic for the future, that lower rate isn't being reflected in many's experience.   He told Kate Hawkesby that there isn't the confidence at the moment for businesses to reinvest in themselves.   Whitehead says they're reluctant to put money into things like machines which can improve productivity.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
