According to the latest Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) survey, New Zealand’s (NZ) both one and two-year inflation expectations picked-up in the third quarter of 2020.
Business managers forecast annual inflation averaging 1.03% over the coming year vs. 0.74% seen in the previous May survey.
Two-year inflation expectations, seen as the time frame when RBNZ policy action will filter through to prices, accelerated to 1.43% from 1.24% last.
Kiwi uninspired
The NZD bulls remain unimpressed by the uptick in the NZ inflation expectations for Q3.
At the time of writing, the kiwi trades at 0.6638, down 0.10% on a daily basis.
