Welcome to the online library we have created for placing reports and specialised commentaries too large or detailed to go into our flagship publication the BNZ Weekly Overview.
Weekly overview
The BNZ Weekly Overview is sent out each Thursday night to over 28,000 subscribers. The publication covers the latest data on the NZ economy, the housing market, interest rates, and foreign exchange.
BNZ Confidence Survey
The survey is sent out to each of the 28,000 subscribers to the BNZ Weekly Overview on the first Thursday of each month and results are published the following Monday. It is the most up to date gauge of changes in business sentiment in New Zealand and accurately picks changes which subsequently appear in other surveys released with lags of many weeks.

Weekly Overview – April 16
Wednesday April 16th 2014
Inflation remains low in New Zealand at just 1.5%. But with the pace of economic growth lifting in an environment of resource shortages the rate will soon start heading toward 3%. That is why the Reserve Bank is likely to raise its official cash rate again next Thursday and the current pinch of weakness in the NZ dollar may not be sustained.
