Cameron Bagrie: Independent economist comments on interest rate cuts

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

Economic consultancy Infometrics says the impacts of the latest OCR cut probably won't be felt until mid to late next year - by which point the economy will be growing.  It could mean greater inflation - with predictions the OCR will rise again as early as late next year.  Independent economist Cameron Bagrie told Ryan Bridge that caution is needed. He says if the economy does kick into gear, there could be capacity issues, and inflation could rear its ugly head again.  LISTEN ABOVE  The podcasts in the SME Stream contain general information only, not financial or professional advice.
