“Let’s get out of this recession” Kiwibank Chief Economist on upcoming OCR
About this episode
Kiwibank Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr discusses the implications of the upcoming OCR and the current economic climate in New Zealand.
Is a hike really the right move for the Reserve Bank? Kiwibank Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr, the lone voice calling for rate cuts last year, wants the cash rate to hold fast. Jarrod explains why he thinks the latest inflation spike is a reactive blip, and why the new Governor of the RBNZ may be under pressure to hike anyway. What’s the influence of the US Federal Reserve and other big central banks? What’s a weak Kiwi dollar doing for exporters, and how are election-year nerves affecting business decisions? Plus, how rising house prices made New Zealanders feel richer and spend more, and how flat property forecasts change how we see our wealth.
