The N Zealand Central Bank announced that it has kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.25%, in line with market expectations. Since the release of the February Monetary Policy Statement, developments in the Middle East have significantly affected the outlook and risk balance for N Zealands inflation and economic growth. Inflation is expected to rise in the near term, while the economic recovery is likely to slow. The central bank will closely monitor inflationary pressures and stands ready to take action to bring inflation back to its medium-term target.

The N Zealand Central Bank stated that the Middle East conflict has disrupted global supply chains, leading to sharp increases in oil and refined fuel prices. In the short term, the extent of the rise in headline inflation in N Zealand will depend on how the Middle East conflict evolves, as well as the degree and duration of disruptions to global supply chains and energy markets. As for medium-term inflationary pressures, these will depend on the impact of rising costs on pricing by businesses and labor, as well as wages. If medium-term inflation expectations increase, inflation may persist for a longer period.
