Version 0.27 (2024-07-01 23:56:21.009000)

updates: The BNZ economists believe there is a 'very real' chance that the RBNZ will continue to be surprised by the strength of domestically sourced inflation. They hope the RBNZ will eventually accept that certain relative price increases, such as insurance and rates, can be 'looked through'. The RBNZ has made it clear that more progress needs to be made on the domestic inflation front. BNZ economists expect the RBNZ to keep the OCR unchanged in its next review on July 10 and to provide updated guidance on the easing track in November. They anticipate that the RBNZ will eventually lower the OCR, but only after certain conditions are met, including getting CPI inflation back under 3% and the US Federal Reserve beginning to ease. Other factors that will be considered include non-tradable inflation, fiscal policy, and productivity. BNZ economists also predict that unemployment will be a driver of OCR cuts, with the unemployment rate potentially rising faster and further than the RBNZ currently assumes.
