ニュージーランド準備銀行総裁、中東紛争の影響はニュージーランドには避けられないと発言

By

-- ニュージーランド準備銀行のアナ・ブレマン総裁は、水曜日の声明で、ニュージーランドは中東紛争に端を発する世界的な要因による「打撃」を避けることはできず、その影響はセクター、地域、家計によって異なる形で現れるだろうと述べた。 ブレマン総裁は、3月期の消費者物価指数(CPI)の年間上昇率は3.1%で、目標レンジである1~3%を上回り、4月の金融政策決定時の予想をやや上回ったと述べた。上昇の大部分は燃料価格の高騰によるものだが、コアインフレ率は目標範囲内で安定しているという。 ブレマン総裁はさらに、「4月8日の金融政策委員会(MPC)による政策金利(政策金利)2.25%の据え置き決定は、中期的なインフレ率上昇リスクに先手を打つことによる潜在的なメリットと、経済回復を不必要に阻害するコストとのバランスを取ったものだ」と付け加えた。
