Martin Cooper: Westpac picks 6 OCR hikes

from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB

Westpac's economists are picking 6 consecutive OCR hikes from December - they're forecasting that it will hit 4% by the end of next year.  The OCR dropped to 2.25% just before Christmas, which is where it stands now, but there have been rumblings for some time that we'd start seeing hikes soon, as all major banks lifted long-term loan rates.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
