The Reserve Bank of New Zealand raised its official cash rate (OCR) by 50 bps to a level not seen in 7 years of 3.0% during its August meeting, the fourth half-point rate hike, in line with market consensus. While expecting some easing of the inflation rate in the near term due to falling fuel prices and stabilization in shipping costs, the RBNZ highlighted that the inflation level would only return to the board's target range by the middle of 2024 and that more monetary tightening is needed with a peak at 4.1% in March 2023. The committee added that demand in the economy has been resilient over H1 2022, but the output was being constrained by the disrupted global supply, labor shortages, and high levels of sickness from COVID-19 and other illnesses. The RBNZ has lifted a total of 275 basis points since October 2021, when it was at a record low of 0.25%. Regarding home prices, they have continued to fall towards more sustainable levels and would decline further over the coming months. source: Reserve Bank of New Zealand

New Zealand Interest Rate
In New Zealand, interest rates decisions are taken by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The official interest rate is the Official Cash Rate (OCR). The OCR was introduced in March 1999 and is reviewed eight times a year by the Bank. The OCR influences the price of borrowing money in New Zealand and provides the Reserve Bank with a means of influencing the level of economic activity and inflation.

RBNZ Hikes Rate by Another 50Bps, Flags More Tightening
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand raised its official cash rate (OCR) by 50 bps to a level not since March 2016 of 2.5% during the July meeting, the third half-point rate hike, in line with market consensus. The board warned that it will continue to tighten policy until it is sure monetary conditions are sufficient to cool inflation expectations and bring inflation within the target range of 1-3%. Wednesday's decision was the 6th straight rate hike, with the committee believing that both high food and energy costs and rising mortgage interest rates in New Zealand will lead to more subdued household discretionary spending in coming quarters. Also, a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and a rise in other seasonal illnesses continue to constrain productive capacity. Policymakers said they were aware that there was medium-term downside risks to economic activity, as the global economic outlook had continued to weaken amid ongoing supply issues, geopolitical tensions, and health curbs in China.

New Zealand Raises Cash Rate Again, Hints More Hikes
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand raised its official cash rate (OCR) by 50 bps to 2% during the May meeting, the 5th straight rate hike, matching market consensus. The board also signaled the OCR would peak at a higher level than previously forecast amid surging prices, adding that a larger and earlier rise reduces the risk of inflation becoming persistent, while also providing more flexibility ahead in light of the highly uncertain global economic environment. Policymakers viewed that domestic economy remains strong, on the back of a solid labor market, sound household balance sheets, continued fiscal support, and easing of COVID-19 curbs. That said, they warned that headwinds are strong, amid global uncertainty due to multiple headwinds. Once aggregate supply and demand are more in balance, the OCR can then return to a lower, more neutral, level. On home prices, they have declined, reflecting in part higher mortgage interest rates and increased supply of housing.
