Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - New Zealand
Description
Key changes: The interim truce between the US and Iran has broken down and the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted again, keeping oil elevated, the relief we’d pencilled remains in doubt. the domestic economy started the year with more momentum than we’d previously assumed. We’ve therefore raised our 2026 GDP forecast to 2.4%, from 2.0% before the conflict, as a rebound in investment and exports is set to build on the strong start to the year. The unemployment rose to 5.6% in the June quarter, the highest rate in more than 10 years, highlighting more slack in the labour market than we had previously thought.
