Background
The Official Cash Rate (OCR) is the benchmark interest rate set by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) to help maintain price stability and support sustainable employment. Changes to the OCR influence borrowing costs, savings rates, inflation, and economic activity across New Zealand. The RBNZ reviews monetary policy at scheduled announcements, taking into account factors such as inflation, employment, economic growth, and global financial conditions. The Bank may increase the OCR, leave it unchanged, or reduce it depending on its assessment of the economic outlook and progress toward its policy objectives.
