RBNZ’s Orr: Confident that inflation pressures are coming out

After defending the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s (RBNZ) status quo the previous day, Governor Adrian Orr tried again to justify the central bank’s inaction by suggesting the easy inflation pressured of late. On the same line was RBNZ Chief Economist Paul Conway.

While speaking in front of the government committee, RBNZ’s Orr said that the drivers for inflation have been changing through time but they have all been biased to higher than otherwise inflation.

The policymaker, however, conveyed easing inflation pressured regardless of the next shock.

Elsewhere, Chief Economist Paul Conway said net migration, currently at record levels, had not been as inflationary as it had been previously.

RBNZ’s Conway also defended the central bank’s inaction by stating that the revision of the neutral rate to 2.0%–2.25% range is as restrictive as needed.

“Some industries were being worse hit by monetary policy and global factors, including construction, commercial property and agriculture,” added RBNZ’s Convay.
