The economic event that overshadowed all others in April was the increase in inflation.

The release of the March quarter Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed inflation up 2.1% in the quarter and 5.1% on an annual basis. This was the biggest increase since 2001 and well above the Reserve Bank’s target of 2-3%.
