There’s no shortage of things to watch this week, with Wednesday’s Reserve Bank meeting (which is the last of the year) likely to be the main event. Nobody is expecting any change in interest rates, but the updated projections in the accompanying Monetary Policy Statement will be very important.
There will be plenty of corporate earnings releases to monitor across the New Zealand market too, including interim results from market heavyweights Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Ryman Healthcare, both of which are on Wednesday. Markets will also be digesting the news of what our new government looks like, and which policies have survived negotiations.
