While consumption helps growth in the year that it is spent, its impact does not last beyond that. In fact, for an economy like Fiji, consuming more also means more imports and over time this can lead to balance of payments problems if we cannot sell enough exports. After four years of high consumer spending, this is exactly what we are facing now.

But there are, across the world, variations among different economies that have different implications for their monetary policy response. I would distinguish two sets of countries. In the first category, inflationary pressures reflect both demand and supply factors.
