Borrowers received the first glimmer of much-wanted relief when the Reserve Bank cut the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 0.25% to 5.25% at their meeting on 14th August.

The RBNZ had earlier noted that its estimate of the long-term neutral OCR was 2.75%, so the August cut appears to be the start of a much-needed easing cycle likely to run through to late 2025 or early 2026.

This outlook for a cut of 2.75% from the highs of the past year is great news for borrowers but may require a change of strategy for savers.
