Unchanged at 1.75%
Monetary policy will remain accommodative for a “considerable period”
Numerous uncertainties remain and monetary policy may need to adjust accordingly
Longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored at around 2%
Future headline inflation expected to tend upwards towards the midpoint of the target band
CPI inflation to weaken further near-term due to softness in food and energy prices, adjustment to govt charges
Tradables inflation to remain subdued
House prices inflation remains moderate
No mention of NZD$
