Mortgage interest rate rises overtake energy prices as chief driver of price growth, says National Competitiveness and Productivity Council
“Just one year later, the equivalent figures were 16 per cent [for energy] versus 44 per cent [on mortgages] as energy price pressures began to ease but the tightened monetary policy stance began to feed through to consumer prices,” it said.
