Press Release: Bank of New Zealand
October 26 edition of the BNZ Weekly Overview.
There was
good news for exporters this morning with the Reserve
Bank leaving the cash rate unchanged at 7.25% and the
exchange rate falling to about US 65.6 cents compared
with US 66.3 cents a week ago. Against the Australian
currency the Kiwi dollar has lost about two cents over the
past 10 days. It has to be kept in mind however that New
Zealand interest rates are going to be kept at high levels
for a long time because even with our economy growing at
rates between 1.5% and 2.5% over the next two or three years
resource availability will remain relatively poor.
