Apart from Wally we also get the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) Survey of Expectations. This is published quarterly, conveying insights from forecasters, economists, and industry leaders on various economic indicators, including inflation.
In the previous survey, from November 2024, participants anticipated a decline in inflation rates:
- One-year-ahead inflation expectations: Decreased from 3.60% to 3.22%.
- Two-year-ahead expectations: Fell from 2.76% to 2.50%.
This can be a market moving data release, I’ll post up a bit more separately.
- This snapshot from the ForexLive economic data calendar, access it here.
- The times in the left-most column are GMT.
- The numbers in the right-most column are the ‘prior’ (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.
