Economist at UOB Group Lee Sue Ann reviews the latest release of GDP figures in New Zealand.
New Zealand has entered a technical recession, with the economy contracting by 0.1% q/q in 1Q23, in comparison to the revised 0.7% q/q fall in 4Q22 (-0.6% q/q previously). The reading was sharply below the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ)’s projection for 0.3% growth.
Overall, there is a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the latest GDP figure, as the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the usual seasonal patterns in the data. However, the downturn was exacerbated by the effects of extreme weather that hit the country through Feb and Mar. We have lowered our GDP growth forecast for 2023 to 0.7%, from 1.3% previously.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has undertaken its most aggressive policy tightening since 1999, when the official cash rate (OCR) was introduced, lifting it by 525bps since Oct 2021 to 5.50%, a 14-year high. However, it has signaled that it has finished hiking. We maintain our view for the OCR to remain at 5.50% for now. The next RBNZ meeting is on 12 Jul.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
