Dear Statistics New Zealand,
Please tell me if you have ever estimated how much it would cost to survey, calculate and publish inflation on a monthly basis, rather than the current quarterly basis. If so, please tell how much it would cost and also release any records of decisions that your senior leaders or Ministers have made about this topic.
Please also release any related information you might hold about quarterly and monthly inflation surveying.
Pls contact me if you would like me to clarify this request.
Yours faithfully,
Mr ED Hirsche
