Statement issued by Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler:
The Reserve Bank today increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent.
New Zealand’s economic expansion has considerable momentum, with GDP estimated to have grown by around 4 percent in the year to June. Global financial conditions remain very accommodative and are reflected in low long-term interest rates and narrow risk spreads. Economic growth among New Zealand’s trading partners is gradually improving and global inflation remains low.
Prices for New Zealand’s export commodities remain historically high, but their recent falls will reduce farm incomes over the coming year. A continued acceleration in construction in Canterbury, and more broadly, is supporting growth, together with strong net immigration flows that are adding to housing and household demand. Business and consumer confidence remains buoyant, as do businesses’ reported intentions to invest and to hire.
While house price inflation remains high, the housing market has moderated since late last year when restrictions were applied to high loan-to-value ratio mortgage lending and when mortgage interest rates began rising. Fiscal consolidation continues to moderate demand growth, though by less than previously assumed. The exchange rate has not yet adjusted to weakening commodity prices, but is expected to do so. The Bank does not believe the exchange rate is sustainable at current levels.
Headline inflation remains moderate and tradables inflation is expected to be low for some time. However, above-trend growth has been absorbing spare capacity and adding pressure to non-tradables inflation. These pressures are particularly evident in construction cost increases. Nevertheless, overall wage inflation remains moderate, reflecting recent low headline inflation, increased labour force participation and strong net immigration.
Inflationary pressures are expected to increase. In this environment, it is important that inflation expectations remain contained and that interest rates return to a more neutral level. The speed and extent to which the OCR will need to rise will depend on future economic and financial data, and its implications for inflationary pressures.
By increasing the OCR as needed to keep future average inflation near the 2 percent target mid-point, the Bank is seeking to ensure that the economic expansion can be sustained.

以下是我的评论:
关于NZD vs USD 汇率
对于汇率的重点在这句“The exchange rate has not yet adjusted to weakening commodity prices, but is expected to do so. The Bank does not believe the exchange rate is sustainable at current levels.”
按我之前的预测,纽币会先涨后降。至于降到多少还是要看接下来的经济数据或央行在之后的言论。会趋向于0.84.
关于OCR接下来的增长
重点在这句“The speed and extent to which the OCR will need to rise will depend on future economic and financial data, and its implications for inflationary pressures.”
这句话细读之下cover了央行半年之前说预计涨到百分之多少的言论的a*s。 也就是说具体会涨到多少和涨多快都是灵活的,看经济状况,我们之前说的不算数。

天维网6月12日报道,援引NZ Herald消息 周四上午,新西兰央行宣布将官方现金利率(OCR)提高25个基准点,达到3.25%。这是自今年3月以来第三次加息。
根据此前路透社的调查,大多数经济师都预计到了这次加息。经过连续第三次加息后,OCR已经比年初提高了75个基准点,达到3.25%。
央行行长Graeme Wheeler预期,通胀压力将会增加,但最重要的是通胀预期可控,利率则需要回到更加中性的水平。
央行预计,截至今年6月,新西兰GDP全年增长率将达到4%。他承认,在过去两三年,利率在推动经济增长的问题上扮演重要角色。Wheeler解释说,近期经济增长的势头决定了无需再维持低利率,相反要更加考虑通胀压力的问题。
在周四上午的报告中,Wheeler强调了净移民流入和收入增加对经济的冲击。在这两项的影响下,住房需求持续增加。随着供应增加,央行预计房价通胀率会变得温和。截至今年5月,新西兰房价年增长8.2%,是9个月以来增速最慢的一个月。Wheeler表示,这意味着去年10月实施的高LVR先带领已经达到了目的。
央行预计,移民流入的高峰会出现在2014年中期,预计全年净流入移民人数会达到37,000人

不知道你们有人是故意误导大家,还是不懂常识!利息越高,房价越低!利息升高是因为房价高的结果,不是因!

没有可比性
