New Zealand producer input prices fell for the first time in seven quarter on lower costs for electricity, crude oil and air transport.

Producer input prices fell 2.2% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and were 9.7% higher than in the same year-earlier period, according to Statistics New Zealand.

Producer output prices rose 1.4% and were 9.9% higher in the year, led by a jump in prices for dairy products.
