OCR on hold at 1.75%

As was widely expected, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has kept the OCR on hold today at a record low of 1.75%.

In their statement they said that "House price inflation has moderated, and in part reflects loan-to-value ratio restrictions and tighter lending conditions. It is uncertain whether this moderation will be sustained given the continued imbalance between supply and demand."
