-- 根據週三提交給澳洲證券交易所的文件，G8教育（ASX：GEM）計劃暫停旗下約40家中心的運營，這是對其網路進行評估的結果。 該公司將把客戶轉移到附近的中心，並在條件允許的情況下重新安排團隊成員。之後，該公司將考慮這些中心的長期方案，包括解除租賃、出售或其他替代方案。 該公司還將重組其支援辦公室架構並降低成本。 截至4月24日，其中心入住率為56.4%，年減7%；年初至今的入住率為56.1%，較去年同期下降7.9%。 文件指出，由於持續的負擔能力壓力、出生率下降、全日制托兒服務供應增加以及嚴重的兒童安全事件打擊了公眾信心，整個幼兒教育和保育行業的入住率低於往年。

RBNZ Governor Says New Zealand Cannot Avoid Impact of Middle East Conflict
Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Anna Breman said New Zealand cannot avoid being "buffeted" by global forces stemming from the Middle East conflict, with the impact to be felt differently across sectors, regions, and households, according to a Wednesday statement.Breman said annual consumer price index (CPI) inflation was 3.1% in the March quarter, above the 1% to 3% target range and slightly higher than expected at the time of the April monetary policy decision, with much of the increase driven by fuel prices, though measures of core inflation have remained stable within the target."The Monetary Policy Committee's (MPC) decision on 8 April to hold the [Official Cash Rate] at 2.25 percent balanced the potential benefits of responding pre-emptively to the risk of higher medium-term inflation against the cost of unnecessarily stifling the economic recovery," Breman added.
