NOTE: As there were problems with the sound on the webcast the first minute of Dr Bollard’s presentation cannot be heard. This is a transcription of what he said:-
“Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Reserve Bank, and welcome to our December Monetary Policy Statement.
The Reserve Bank this morning has decided that it will cut the Official Cash Rate by 150 basis points. It is cutting it to 5.00 per cent. The financial market turmoil and deterioration in the global outlook is what predominantly shapes today’s decision. Most of our trading partner countries are now expected to contract, or stagnate, over the next few quarters. And it is as a result of this that New Zealand’s own domestic activity is more constrained than our view in October.”
