    The Reserve Bank of New Zealand believes that raising the official cash rate to 2.75% is an appropriate step to bring inflation sustainably back to the midpoint of the 2% target.

  • 10:05:58

    On September 2nd, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) unanimously decided to raise the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 2.75%. The RBNZ stated that inflation rose to 4.1% in the June quarter due to increased fuel prices caused by the Middle East conflict. Core inflation, expected wage growth, and inflation expectations remain consistent with the target range of 1% to 3% by mid-2027, and a return to the midpoint of the 2% target later next year. The New Zealand economy has likely resumed its recovery after weak growth in the June quarter, but the recovery remains uneven. The recovery is expected to strengthen and expand further. Significant risks to the global economy could impact commodity prices and export demand. The strength of the New Zealand economic recovery may be stronger or weaker than expected, and price pressures could lead to inflation lasting longer than anticipated. The Committee will remain vigilant and act as necessary to ensure that inflation sustainably returns to the midpoint of the 2% target over the medium term. The Committee believes that a gradual withdrawal of monetary policy stimulus is conducive to pushing inflation back to the midpoint of the 2% target while supporting economic growth and employment. This decision reduces the risk of needing further significant interest rate hikes in the future. Future policy decisions will depend on the Committee’s assessment of the balance of risks to inflation over the medium term.
