“Dairy and housing sector risks will likely be well discussed. Macro-prudential tools remain the RBNZ’s preferred method for dealing with the latter. However, any concerns expressed here will simply add weight to our view of the RBNZ as a ‘reluctant cutter’.

This takes the OCR to a cyclical trough of 2.50%. We see the OCR unchanged throughout 2016.”
