NZ RBNZ Press Conference
It's among the primary tools the RBNZ uses to communicate with investors about monetary policy. It covers in detail the factors that affected the most recent interest rate decision, such as the overall economic outlook and inflation. Most importantly, it provides clues regarding future monetary policy;
The press conference is about 30 minutes long and has 2 parts - first a prepared statement is read, then the conference is open to press questions. The questions sometimes lead to unscripted answers that create heavy market volatility. The press conference is webcasted on the RBNZ website real-time;
