Since Bernard Hickey et al persisting in promoting a healthy tonic of inflationism to “fix” every problem from the high NZ dollar to excessive lint in your laundry, here’s some common sense as a response:
What difference does it make to the importer of our goods that
the [NZ] dollar is now 5 percent cheaper, if domestic inflation
has made the price the importer pays in dollars 5 percent
higher? The effect is nil.

Is Bernard Hickey, the new crowned king of the economics' illiterate cock-sucking society? I bet that he is. The guy is simply fucking dumb. Unbelievable!
Bernard Hickey is ok, but there are others that are well respected. .
