Key Quotes
“The rate path was adjusted marginally upwards at the short end and marginally downwards at the long end. The message is clearly hawkish, as a strong domestic business cycle suggests a further frontloading of monetary tightening despite elevated international uncertainty at present. We expect NB to hike the sight deposit rate again by another 25bp at the 19 September meeting.”
