At 04:00 (GMT+2), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will announce its interest rate decision. It is expected that the regulator will continue to tighten monetary policy and increase the rate from 1.50% to 2.00% to curb inflationary pressure. The accompanying statement and subsequent press conference by the regulator may contain an assessment of the current situation and immediate economic prospects in the face of geopolitical tensions and hints at further actions by the financial authorities.
