His key points were:

• Reason for this update was given as the longer-than-usual gap between Monetary Policy Statements

• Decline in NZD is needed

• Further policy easing will be required

• High NZD makes it difficult for the bank to reach its inflation objective, adding to headwinds for dairy, manufacturing

• Will continue to watch emerging flow of economic data

• Outlook for inflation has weakened due to high NZD

• House price inflation excessive

• Bank curbs aim to limit financial sector instability

• Many uncertainties around the outlook.

NZD is lower across the board in immediate response.
