Business Profile
Official Cash Rate (OCR) provides monetary policy leverage to influence interest rates, helping keep inflation low and stable and supporting financial system stability for New Zealanders.
Registered banks and financial institutions that interact with the Reserve Bank via the OCR, as well as the general public, policymakers, researchers, and financial market participants who rely on monetary policy data and communications.
A central bank-driven framework offering regular OCR decisions and monetary policy explanations, complemented by real‑time data tools and educational resources (e.g., Kiwi-GDP nowcasts, inflation analysis, exchange rate data and the TWI) managed by Te Pūtea Matua.
OCR decisions are published seven times per year; KiWi-GDP nowcasts are updated weekly; other data and publications are regularly updated as part of ongoing monetary policy communication.
The OCR is the interest rate that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand charges banks to borrow money from the Bank. The Monetary Policy Committee uses the OCR to influence interest rates and to achieve and maintain price stability, with an inflation target of 1%–3% over the medium term and a focus on the 2% midpoint.
New Zealand households, businesses, registered banks and financial institutions, policymakers, researchers, and financial market participants seeking authoritative monetary policy data and guidance.
Te Pūtea Matua uniquely combines formal monetary policy management (OCR and MPC communications) with accessible, up-to-date macroeconomic data, education, and forecasting tools (e.g., Kiwi-GDP nowcasts, inflation explanations, and exchange-rate data).
