In New Zealand, interest rates decisions are taken by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. The official interest rate is the Official Cash Rate (OCR). The OCR was introduced in March 1999 and is reviewed eight times a year by the Bank. The OCR influences the price of borrowing money in New Zealand and provides the Reserve Bank with a means of influencing the level of economic activity and inflation.

Latest Updates

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand unexpectedly kept its official cash rate/OCR unchanged at a record low of 1 percent on November 13th 2019, surprising markets that expected a 25 bps rate cut. Policymakers said that economic developments do not warrant a change to the already stimulatory monetary setting at this time and that they will continue to monitor the evolution of the economy and remain prepared to act as required. The Committee added that interest rates will need to remain at low levels for a prolonged period to ensure inflation reaches the mid-point of the target range and employment remains around its maximum sustainable level.
