Key quotes

Not forecasting recession but do see sub-par growth.

New Zealand spending is underpinned by employment.

In a very strong position to get on top of inflation.

Household balance sheets still in good shape.

The neutral rate is a great unknown.

Did not consider 75 bps rate hike today.

50 bps moves have been orderly and sufficient.

House prices are now far closer to levels that would be sustainable.

Getting rates to 4% would buy comfort for policy committee.
