Bottom Line
It was during October 2021, when the RBNZ boosted its OCR to 0.50%. Back then, the Monetary Policy Committee members observed the RBNZ’s evaluation of the unsustainable level of housing prices.
They further noted various aspects like- slower population rise, shifts in tax settings, tighter bank lending rules, etc., which were likely to curb rising property prices in a medium span of time.
