Further Removal Of Monetary Policy Stimulus Is Expected Over Time

RBNZ

"Capacity pressures have continued to tighten. For example, employment is now above its maximum sustainable level. A broad range of economic indicators highlight that the New Zealand economy continues to perform above its current potential."

  • "Headline CPI inflation is expected to measure above 5 percent in the near term before returning towards the 2 percent midpoint over the next two years. The near-term rise in inflation is accentuated by higher oil prices, rising transport costs and the impact of supply shortfalls. These immediate relative price shocks risk generating more generalised price rises given the current domestic capacity constraints."
  • "The Committee noted that further removal of monetary policy stimulus is expected over time given the medium term outlook for inflation and employment."
