Why ANZ economists are upbeat about the Reserve Bank’s OCR increase

Yeah nah get stuffed. They just wanted an excuse to bump rates before election.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T04:34:30.000Z

they don't care about us plebs. They're protecting the banks' profits.

Honestly about time. Low rates were killing savers. My granddad always said you can't print your way to prosperity.

So another 0.25% and they're 'upbeat'? lol my mortgage just went up $50 a week. Cheers Adrian.

lol cope. Rates were never gonna stay low forever.

ANZ economists are upbeat because they don't have to pay the mortgage. Watch them change their tune when house prices drop.

As long as it slows down the housing market so my kids can afford something one day. Tough love I guess.

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T06:58:30.000Z

the landlord. Give over, house prices need to correct.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-08T06:24:30.000Z

What a load of shit. The Reserve Bank is clueless. Inflation is transitory remember?

Meanwhile my KiwiSaver took another hit. Cheers guys.
