The New Zealand Fed may add negative interest rates to its policy tools.Even if the New Zealand Fed said last month that the official cash rate (OCR) would remain at 0.25 per cent for the next year, we expect the New Zealand Fed to cut the official cash rate (OCR) to negative in November. A significant recession due to the pandemic will require massive fiscal and monetary policy, so we expect the New Zealand Fed to cut interest rates by 75 basis points to -0.5 per cent. A negative official cash rate (OCR) would allow banks to increase lending, but mortgage and deposit rates should remain above zero. (countryInternational Derivatives Think Tank)
