There would need to be a large inflationary shock to return to 75bp rate hikes.
RBNZ is optimistic about a return to steady, low inflation.
RBNZ has been aggressive in its tightening.
It’s worth noting that RBNZ’s Chief Economist Paul Conway also crossed wires, via Reuters, while stating that a cyclone that hit New Zealand earlier this month was leading to greater uncertainty around GDP projection. RBNZ's Conway was testifying at parliament's Finance and Expenditure committee meeting, per Reuters.
The news fails to ease pressured off the NZD/USD pair as it holds lower ground near 0.6215 at the latest.
