Previously, ASB had been expecting the OCR to be held at 5.5% until February next year. Tuffley said households were starting to buckle under higher interest rates and inflation indicators were softening quickly. ASB put its OCR call under review immediately after the survey was released and ANZ, which still expects a February cut, said the case for a November cut was building. RBNZ will release full monetary policy statements in August and November, before going on a three month hiatus until February. Tuffley said monetary policy had been “leaning hard against inflation for over two and a half years now” but inflation had consistently been stronger than expected.

Source: ACT PartyACT is welcoming the end of Labour’s compulsory intensification rules as the Government announces new plans to implement housing growth targets and free up land. This is how ACT makes the Government better. The mad Labour-National plan to zone every section in major cities for three three-storey houses is dead.

ACT understands that housing development isn’t just held back by land use rules, but by a lack of instrastructure.

That crypto values have reached new highs means people are well positioned to pay their tax for the 2024 and earlier year, IRD said. Even keeping transactions outside the country is unlikely to hide them from the IRD. The tax department said it receives data from crypto exchanges in New Zealand and overseas, and has signed up to the OECD crypto asset reporting framework. "That means New Zealand works closely with other tax jurisdictions and will get more data on customers' crypto asset transactions outside New Zealand," the department spokesperson said.
