After the Bank of New Zealand discussed its interest rate meeting on Wednesday (26th), as expected, it kept all monetary policies unchanged and the interest rate remained at 0.25%. However, in response to economic improvement, for example, the unemployment rate fell to 4.7% and the price of its main export dairy foodstuffs, which accounted for 20%, rose to the highest since January 2014. The bank estimates that its interest rate will have a chance to increase by September 2022. To 0.5%, and have a chance to return to 1.5% by the end of 2023. The New Zealand central bank’s estimate immediately provided support for the New Zealand dollar exchange rate, bringing it close to the important resistance of 73 US cents.
