HiFX Data Update - RBNZ Official Cash Rate Decision
HiFX Data Update - RBNZ Official Cash Rate Decision
The RBNZ have maintained the Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 1.75%. This was widely expected.
The key points in the RBNZ statement are:
• Keeps cash rate unchanged at 1.75%
• Expects no change in rates for "considerable period"
• Numerous uncertainties remain; may adjust policy accordingly
• Lower NZD would help rebalance growth outlook
• Recent budget will support outlook for growth
• House price inflation has moderated
• Q1 inflation rise likely temporary
• Wage inflation remains moderate
• Longer-term inflation expectations well anchored
• Expects future headline inflation to reach the midpoint of the target band over the medium term
• Inflation rise mainly due to temporary factors, may lead to some variability in headline inflation
• House price inflation has moderated further, moderation projected to continue
• There is risk of resurgence in house price inflation given the on-going imbalance between supply and demand
The NZD is higher in immediate response.
The next OCR decision and full Monetary Policy Statement will be held on 10th August 2017.
