  • Upcoming expiries: US$570m put with a 0.600 strike for March 27th NY cut.
  • New Zealand's Finance Minister Nicola Willis released the Budget Policy Statement, indicating weaker economic and tax outlook over the next five years. The Treasury downgraded GDP growth expectations, projecting 0.1% annual average growth through June 2024 and 2.1% through June 2025. Tax revenue is expected to be NZ$13.9 billion less than projected in the HYEFU. Despite the challenges, Willis aims for a surplus by 2028, with meaningful tax cuts to be funded through reprioritization, savings, and new revenue measures. The government targets a net debt of 20-40% of GDP, with no need for borrowing for tax relief.
  • Looking ahead, Thursday ANZ consumer confidence, activity outlook and business confidence is due out.
