The Reserve Bank has just reduced the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 0.25 percentage points—a shift that could reshape the financial landscape for homeowners, buyers, and investors alike.
🔎 Why was the OCR lowered?
📉 Inflation is stabilizing, with core inflation easing and expected to settle within the 1–3% target range.
🌍 Global economic uncertainty is slowing growth, influencing interest rate policy.
💰 Lower rates aim to support New Zealand’s economic recovery and stimulate borrowing.
💰 Key Impacts:
✅ Potential for lower mortgage interest rates (especially for floating or short-term fixed rates).
✅ Increased borrowing power for first-home buyers.
✅ A great opportunity for existing borrowers to reassess and refix their current rates.
